  • Amphie

    Nhald,

    Thx sa stories mo.

    Again, CONGRATULATIONS TO GERALD SANTOS. THERE CAN ONLY ONE PINOY POP SUPERSTAR. AND THAT IS GERALD SANTOS.

    Nakapagtataka naman bakit “Close to Where You Are” ang face off song. Di ba last year pa iyon.

    Akala namin ang “Magsimula Ka” ang face off song dahil ito ang PPS2 theme song.

    Ok lang at least Gerald has passed the test na he can win the title singing an English song. He he he.

    Yes, Kuya Rickey we will continue blogging here. We luv this site.

    Ang mga bet talaga ni Kuya Rickey mga winner. Tulad ni Mark Cielo at Gerald Santos. Manalo kaya ang bet nya sa PBB. Cute iyong love team
    sa PBB. Movie star material.

  • Amphie

    Nhald,

    Nga pla. Congrats sa mga taga Navotas. Very proud tiyak ang ka barangay ni Gerald lalo na si Nhald.

    Congratulations. Gerald put Navotas sa mapa ng Pilipinas.

  • Amphie

    Congratulations din kay Aicelle.

    Making the top 2 is an achievement. Alam namin sisikat din sya lalo na ang mga Santoses.

    She got a great smile. Pretty and good voice. Marami din siyang followers based on the text vote results. Consistent din sya sa 5 roadshows.

  • Dorothy

    Amphie,

    Wow! He did it. Gerald Santos is great.

    I just listened to Jonalyn?s version of ?Close to Where You Are?. It is a hard song to sing specially from middle to the end. A lot of belting. I wondered how Gerald sang it.

    We can?t wait to hear and watch the grand showdown on TV.

  • http://angelemmaruthmultiply.com angelruth

    congratulations sa mga gerald fans. congrats sa inyo..

  • http://angelemmaruthmultiply.com angelruth

    who are the top 4? can anybody answer me in advance. thanks……

  • Lollypop

    I herd the big news! Time to celebrate!

    Now we can finally declare: “There can only one Pinoy Pop Superstar” GERALD SANTOS.

    Re Post#3 Nakakabanas.

    Strength nga ni Aicelle ang English song. Cguro sa 30% ang deciding factor. Hindi naman siguro pahuhuli si Gerald sa English song. Konti lang siguro ang difference. Pero sabi ni Dorothy marami daw belting na invole sa song na iyon. Baka doon umiskor si Gerald.

    Malalaman natin sa video. Sino nga kaya ang top 4? Nandon kaya si Denver at Rosemari? Malaking ang possibility nandoon si Harry. Well, we gonna have to wait for a few more hours.

    At English song nga sa faceoff. Pano nalaman ni Shannen yon. May secret sya na hindi natin alam.

  • Adam

    Pareng Gerald,

    Sabi ko na . Kaya mo nga. At sa tulong din ni Lord, Kuya Rickey, at Geraldicts.

    Hindi makapaniwala si Robin na beat mo si Aicelle sa English song.

  • pru

    Congratulations Gerald! YES YES YES!!!

    Thanks Rickey for this site. To nhald for acknowledging me always and kuya_Sam too. And to all Gerald fans whose support never waned. I wish you all good luck…

    For Gerald, may you continue to shine and inspire us all. When you have your album already, I’ll be the first to buy it. I’ll be waiting for you here in Cebu when you promote it and fall in line to have it signed by you.

  • nakakabanas

    Just watch the face off round where they both sang ?Close to Where You Are? kung sino talaga ang deserving manalo. And pay special attention to Regine’s reaction/facial reaction when she announced the winner.

    By the way the top 4 were: Denver, Harry, Gerald & Aicelle

    (Rosemarie walked out after they announced the top 4)

  • divarose

    Looks like I am the last one to know. Got a hectic day.

    The Crystal ball was right and clear. The face of Gerald Santos was there. With a big smile and with a crown.

    Next: His first Album. We can finally hear 10 ? 12 recorded songs. A precious collection.

  • divarose

    I felt sorry for Rosemari.

    When will a North American contender make the top 4. I guess they did not get enough text votes. It is a big factor to win the hearts of Pinoy masa.

  • mark

    hello guys!

    so you already know the good news, hehe

    Congratulations po kay Gerald at sa ating laht! kUYA Rickey Super salamat po talaga…

    We were not able to talk to Gerald kagabi sa Araneta kasi diretso pa ata sila ng GMA or something…

    “From amphie #19: Nakapagtataka naman bakit ?Close to Where You Are? ang face off song. Di ba last year pa iyon.

    Akala namin ang ?Magsimula Ka? ang face off song dahil ito ang PPS2 theme song.

    Ok lang at least Gerald has passed the test na he can win the title singing an English song. He he he.”

    ***Tama ka Amphie, nung i-announce ni Regine kagabi na Close to Where YOu are nga ang kakantahin sa face off i was really freaking out!!! Unang una, jonalyn viray ang kumanta at pambabae!!! Advantage talaga ni Aicelle pero the moment na marinig ko ang kanta ni Gerald — he was the first to sing by the way — i was like WOW!!! Ang galing!!! TAlagang ipinakita niya na deserving siya!!! Mapapa-wow talga kayo dahil ang linis ng pagkakakanta at nakuha niya mga high notes niya!!!

    By the way ang top 4 at sina GERALD, AICELLE, HARRY, at DENVER!!!

    Got to go, dumaan lang ako, papunta ako kina Chell ngayon eh, hehe…

    Next naman na suportahan natin ang album niya, i was not able to hear his New Song that was composed by Danny Tan because we were so busy crying, hugging each other and feeling the moment!!!

  • divarose

    Based on Nakakabanas observation, looks like the judges and the management has made up their minds before the face off or the grand final.

    The final became a formality.

    Did they really believe Gerald Santos was the deserving one beforehand based on the text votes results, crowd reaction, and performances in the 5 roadshows.

    I really need to see the show. Nhald said he could hardly hear Gerald singing. Fans were screaming. Wonder why?

  • mark

    Shannen… ito na po ang sagot sa mga posts mo…

    Sabi namin kagabi, babalikan namin ang mga nanlait at nambatikos kay Gerald pero i am just so happy right now that i can’t think of any thing to say to you..

    Basta, ang pagkapanalo ni Gerald kagabi ang sagot sa laht ng pambabatikos niyo… TAke note, english po na song ang kinanta nila and again, he WON!!!

  • mark

    divarose

    last night there were 3 special awards na binigay namely Road Show Superstar, Album Superperstar at Crowd’s Favorite ata iyon… Aicelle won the first 2 AWARDS while Gerald won the later…

    Back to zero po lahat ng scores nila after ng first performance… Ang tagal tagal pong nagmiting ang mga judges kagabi — there were five judges by the way– bago inanounce ang panalo…

    YOu are right, kailangan niyo pong mapanood talga ang video para talagang malaman niyo po ang totoong nangyari…:-)

  • mark

    Kuya Nhald ngayon lang po pala ako nakapagonline kasi nakatulog po ako eh… Sobrang pagod na pagod ako kagabi at paos na paos sa kasisigaw!!!

    GAya nga ng mga sinabi natin kagabi, nagbunga po lahat ng mga pagsisikap natin, 9pm prayer at ang pagsuporta natin!!!

    Pumunta kami ni chell sa Araneta ngv6, nakarating kami dun ng 6:30, puyat pa dahil kahit pagod kami nung nagdaang araw dahil sa paggawa ng banner eh di kami makatulog kinagabihan dahil sa excitement… Nag-umpisa kaming pumila ng bandang 10:30 hanngang 5 sa gitna ng araw dahil 5 pa sila nag-umpisa magpapasok… Nag-antay pa kami sa loob dahil 8 n nagstart pero sulit lahat iyon dahil nanalo ang ating bet, sabi nga namin kahapon… HIndi ko talaga maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko kagabi nung inannounce ang winner!!

  • Andrew

    siguro kaya nanalo si gerald kasi predictable na yung performance ni aicelle… english at pambabae ‘yung song. pero first time ni gerald na kumanta ng pambabae at wala pa sa comfort zone niya yung kanta dahil english. So talagang pag nakanta niya ng maayos un – wow.

    congratz gerald… wag mo ng isipin ‘yung may ayaw sa’yo. mas marami ‘yung may gusto sa’yo.

  • Amphie

    Andrew,

    Actually, sabi ni Kuya Sam, noong bata pa si Gerald boses babae ang boses nya at bumibirit ng kanta ni Regine Velasquez. Ngayon na lang nabago ang boses niya. Boses lalake na. Ha ha ha.

    Kaya hindi nila alam may hidden talent si Gerald noong bata pa sya. Versatile ata yan. Na surprise sila ngayon. He he he.

  • Amphie

    At Mark, ang dami mong info na dala. Thx. Kakainggit ang experience nyo sa Araneta.

    Wow 2 out of 3 pala ang award ni Aicelle. Pero sa mga beauty contests man kahit maraming award na nakuha di rin siguradong makukuha ang title.

    So, kahit runner up si Aicelle she should be happy dahil ang dami pala niyang awards.

    Iyong kayang crowd favorite o paborito ng mga contenders siguro yong third award na nakuha ni Gerald. Eh kung yon nga, may extra 20,000 pesos din sya. Tama ba ako Mark?

  • http://nexus2005-2006.coms.ph jamesgerald

    Congrats Gerald! Sayang di nanalo si Aicelle pero im sure may recording contract to. Wehehehe. :)

  • mark

    Tama ka amphie… Nakuha nga po ni Gerald iyong pagiging crowd’s favorite dahil out of 300, 000 combined votes ng mga contenders eh nakuha niya ang 30% noon…

  • http://www.pps2.co.nr Goldwin

    hay naku….

  • http://www.pps2.co.nr Goldwin

    sa wakas nakacomment na rin ako.
    thank GOD!!!!
    ano kayang nangyari sakin.
    pls. answer mr. rickey!

  • http://www.pps2.co.nr Goldwin

    hay nkau…
    i admit this is the craziest day of my lyf.
    nag seminar kami tungkol catholic lyf. but that not made my day crazy. nakakatawa nga yung seminar. naasar lang ako nung nalaman ko sa gitna ng sem eh may nagbalita na gerald wins.
    i admit agen dat i don’t lyk gerald but he deserves to win. magaling din nmn xa pero i really lyk aicelle to win kahit na mas may kaya sila kina gerald. in short, i am addicted to aicelle, isama mo na si charmaine. i love them both. sana naman ok na tong comment ko. wala nmng masasaktan dito. namiss niyo ako here noh. walang pasawy for d past few days. joke!

  • http://www.pps2.co.nr Goldwin

    top 4:
    gerald who happens to be the 2nd pps champion
    aicelle who unbelieveably got d 1st runner up title.
    rosemarie who really have the power to fight in singing.
    harry who people loves deerly becoz of his cuteness & voice.

    di ako nakanood. premonition ko lang poh. hehe. pero malakas ang spirit ko na tama yan. promise! magtiwala. kung mali, pls. reply yung nakakal=-alam.

    pero eto ang totoo. A SONG FOR YOU kinanta ni aicelle sa 2nd round de nsa 3rd or last round kung saan battle of the 2 with gerald. ewan ko kung ano kinanta sa last round but i guess gerald uses his emotive style in singing kaya nakamit niya ang pangarap niya, on d oder syd, aicelle uses her belting prowess & hadmovement style in singing kaya cguro mas nagoutshine si gerald. ok lang. God really knows what is better for both of dem. i am sure yung mga top4 esp. aicelle ay sisikat din. mas sisikat pa sa year 1 contenders. it hurts na hindi sumikat si charmaine. hay…. gma nmn oh. pasikat niyo nmn sila!

  • http://www.pps2.co.nr Goldwin

    to anne. the 39th commentor…
    just glad to say dat everyone will have the recording contract just lyk the year 1 contenders. pero di ko lam kung kasama yung mga boarders…
    so you laso lyk aicelle rin ba?

  • http://www.rubyotero.blogspot.com rotero

    from nakakabanas post:
    (Rosemarie walked out after they announced the top 4)

    ****
    katatapos lang i annouce ang final four wala namang nag walk out sa 3 natira…. and by the way mas gusto ko naman si rosemarie kaysa kay denver, so unfair naman kung may ganitong press realese…

    any way maka santoses din me pero mas gusto ko si gerald next harry and aicelle….

    grabe…. napaiyak ako sa mga testimonials nila when they are introduced in their first song….

    wait .. nood muna me ulit.. gerald na sa 2nd round…

  • Amphie

    Rotero,

    Thx for the correction. Nakakabanas made us worried. It is unfair.

    Pls tell us more later on. Ur an angel.

  • Amphie

    Bilib din naman ako sa blog na ito. Live ang update sa PPS2.

    Wala pa akong nakikitang article anywhere in the Internet about the result of the grandshowdown.

    from http://www.geraldsantos.co.nr

    Hi Gerald! I’m a really huge fan of yours. Even if I never got the chance to watch you perform live, I still manage to pray for you and wish you all the best.

    Unlike Superman, you may not have the power to carry the world, but I am very sure that you are special through your own super power and that is TO MAKE PEOPLE (especially the ones who have always been there to support you) FEEL BETTER BY THE POWER OF YOUR GOOD PERSONALITY & VOICE.

    I may be a stranger but believe me when I say that you’ve touched me in ways I could never imagine I could learn from someone just a year older than me. You had always made me feel better through your singing. Because of your perseverance, you’ve inspired me to never give up no matter what happens. You’re a living proof of what they say that dreams would always be within our reach. No one else except you made me feel that way. And I thank you for that. =)

    Now that PPS 2 is over, it’s just the beginning. I will always be here to support you in every step of the way…not only as your fan but as someone who will look up to you forever. =)

    May you continue to inspire others as you have inspired me.

    I wish you all the best! Take care and God bless you so much. =)

    Lots of love from your #1 fan,
    QUEEN =)

  • Amphie

    So, history repeats itself!

    Another 4 week defending champion won the PPS title. But it is a male this time.

    Ang bigat ng top 4. Mga undefeated weekly champions at 7 week champion at isang 4 week lang.

    At ang nanalo. The 4 week champion. Yahoo!

    Alam ko silang apat ang pinaka favorite ng judges. Ang hirap talagang maging judges. You need to select the best among your favorites. It is was a tough decision.

  • Amphie

    Joyanntwins,

    Na kaka touch naman ang comment ni Queen Steffi. Ganda na name nya parang iyong tennis player from Germany.

    Malapit na bday mo diba? May 9 ba? Advance Hapi bday.

    Napadaan lang ako dito sandali. May lunch appointment ako in 15 minutes. Chao.

  • Amphie

    Before I leave I just noticed yong pic ang ganda ng custume nila. I am sure Kuya Rickey will post more later on plus the Video.

    Talagang binibihisan sila ng husto ng GMA. Ang gaganda ng damit nila. Trendy.

    CONGRATULATIONS GERALD and to all his supporters!

    kuya sam, kuya nhald, mariel (mahilig din sa jewel) and sa iba pang GERALDIANs….sulit ang pagsupport nyo kay GERALD!!!

    MORE POWER TO ALL OF YOU!!!

    KUYA RICKEY,
    thank you also!!!!

  • kuya_Sam

    number 28.

    its pretty obvious regine agrees on Gerald Santos as the winner.

    remember her reaction after “Kahit Sang Saglit” nung maiyak iyak sila.

    si Gerald lang nakakagawa nun.

  • kuya_Sam

    rotero number 46.

    sa ARANETA this is what really happenned.

    after the announcement of the top 4 talaga namang all smiles si rosemarie at kumaway kaway pa.

    sa ARANETA kinanta nila ang “Magsimula Ka” before announcing the GRAND WINNER.

    pero lahat nagtataka dahil 6 na lang silang na sa harapan.

    2 lang ang babae, si aicel at elise.

    NAWAWALA SI ROSEMARIE TAN.

    akala namin nahuli lang ng pasok, pero talagang WALA SIYA hanggang sa kinanta na nila.

    I THINK THEY HAVE DECIDED NOT TO AIR IT ‘COZ SOMEONE WAS MISSING.

    sana tinapos ni rosemarie iyong show. magaling siya and kahit hindi siya pumasok sa top 4, kaya pa rin siya pasikating ng gma dito sa pilipinas.

    hindi kasi professional iyong ganung nangyari.

    aicel took some of rosemarie’s part but the part where rosemarie was hitting high notes, wala nang kumuha dahil aicel has her own part to sing.

    nagkulang ng voicing. so hindi na lang nila inere.

    i was hoping rose will be part of the top 4. but then again, denver really sounded well with their album, and he had higher txt votes than rose.

    sobrang ganda ng show until nagkulang sila sa Magsimula Ka. hindi tama ang nangyari.

    hope i was able to give you enough details.

  • kuya_Sam

    queenmarie 49.

    nakaka touch iyong sinabi mo.
    im sure gerald will be touched when he gets to read your message.

    thank you!

  • kuya_Sam

    MARK AND CHELL AND NHALD.

    MARAMI PONG SALAMAT SA PAGSINGIT SA AKIN SA PILA.

    grabe maiyak iyak kami ni mark at chell kagabi!

    hindi ako makasigaw nung una kasi naiyak na lang ako.

  • kuya_Sam

    Hi ulit!

    first I CONGRATULATE YOU GERALD SANTOS FOR WINNING!

    worth it lahat ng pagbisita ko sa mall tours, ang pagpapanuod ko lahat ng guestings mo sa tv at pagbisita sa broadway pag guest ka sa K challenge.

    sulit din ang pagtitili ko kagabi sa araneta coliseum, hanggang ngayon hirap ako magsalita, sakit ng lalamunan ko! hehe!

    its all worth it! you deserve to win. natutuwa ako sa mga office mates ko kasi pagpasok ko sabi nila sa akin “congratulations!” kasi naman super alam nila na idol kita rito kasi nakapost sa computer ko iyong flyer mo at talagang binibida kita rito sa office!

    tapos, kagabi tinext ako ng iba kong friends, classmates and pinsan dahil nga raw nanalo ka at congratulations daw!

    iba ang feeling ko kagabi.

    nung nakakuha si Aicelle ng dalawang special awards tapos ikaw, isa lang, sabi ko sa katabi ko, “HANGGANG SPECIAL AWARDS NA LANG IYAN – IMIPORTANTE SI GERALD SANTOS ANG MANANALO”

    tapos sa cellphone ko, naka save na iyong isesend ko pag nanalo ka, saying na “nanalo si Gerald Santos! nandito ako araneta ngayon!, tapos nakapasok na iyong mga lahat ng friends ko na may smart na sim pati iyong mga globe na mga talagang interesado sa akin.

    kaya nung nanalo ka, isang pindot lang na send na!

    GANUN AKO KA CONFIDENT NA SI GERALD SANTOS ANG MANANALO! BUO ANG TIWALA KO SA KANYA.

    although ayoko basta basta nagsasalita kasi mahirap na, baka maudlot pa.

    nagtxt that night iyong office mate ko, sabi niya, “oh nanalo ba iyang Gerald na bet mo? dapat manalo siya dahil na post poned outing natin dahil diyan…”

    tinext back ko siya na hindi pag tapos iyong program at sinabi ko “PATAYIN MO NA LANG AKO PAG NATALO SI GERALD!”

    kaya nung nanalo si Gerald, tinext ko kagad siya! at sabi ng office mate ko, man libre raw ako sa outing namin or dagdagan ko iyong fund namin kasi nanalo nga si Gerald!

  • kuya_Sam

    nung Final 2 na, sinabi nga na close to where you are yung song.

    so English ang last song?

    tapos sabi ko bakit huli si Aicel.

    sa lahat kasi ng napanuod kong singing contests,

    Rachel Ann Go, Eric Santos, Jonalyn Viray, hinuli sila pakantahin tapos sila ang nanalo.

    iyon lang ang naisip ko nun.

    pero English song,

    sabi ko sa sarili ko, eto pag nanalo,

    SAMPAL SA MUKHA ng ibang nagsasabing hindi magaling si Gerald sa english songs at pag english daw ang song na kakantahin sa final 2 eh sure na matatalo siya.

    SORRY!

    dahil si GERALD SANTOS PA RIN ANG NANALO!

  • kuya_Sam

    maraming na break na trend si gerald.

    kahit una siyang kumanta , siya ang nanalo,
    kahit hindi siya nag titili na karaniwan sa singing contests, siya ang nanalo!

  • kuya_Sam

    muntik pako mapaaway dito.

    kasi iyong office mate ko hindi siya maka gerald.

    medyo naha highblood nako pero pinigilan ko lang.

    sabi ko kasi sa kanya, “alam mo, marami namang magagaling eh, pero bihira lang iyong nakaka touch, at na touch niya iyong mga judges at si Gerald Santos lang nakagawa nun.

    iyon lang ang isinagot ko sa kanya,

    tapos nun hindi na siya sumagot.

    bad trip kasi iyong isnabi niya eh. di ko na lang ilalagay dito at masisira lang araw ko.

  • pru

    Gerald is deserving to win. After I watched last night, I was really moved by all his performances. Ang linis-linis kumanta ni Gerald, ang lamig pa ng boses.

    He’s a guest sa Unang Hirit kanina. He sang Hanggang and Wherever You Will Go. Ang galing talaga. Early in the morning, ganda pa rin ng boses.

  • pru

    Sabi ni Gerald sa UH na hindi niya inaasahan na siya ang mananalo dahil sobrang galing daw ni Aicelle. Tinanong siya kung anong gagawin niya sa 1 million pesos. Ang sabi niya magpa-Grand reunion siya ng angkan nila. I’m sure dumarami na ang kamag-anak ni Gerald.

  • irene.villamor

    I concluded before I go to sleep that Aicell will win….but then I can’t believe that Gerald would grab the Title…Aicell has a very good voice that she can compete with Sarah and the rest of the Champions. Nevertheless, I bet the judges gave a high score to Gerald because he can get peoples eye teary everytime he sings….In short he really sing with his heart and soul!!! Congrats Gerald, both of you really deserves being crowned as Pinoy Pop Superstar!!!!!!

  • kuya_Sam

    Hi Pru!

    anyway, im glad that Jonalyn sang the way she did yesterday! lupet!

    no offense meant to aicel fans, i know aicel will very be successful even if she did not get the title, pero kung pataasan ng boses, mas mataas ang mga boses ni sarah, jonalyn, rachel kaysa sa kanya.

    she belts, but not as high as the names I said.

    but all in all, aicel is pretty, very experienced singer, kumakanta na kasi siya sa hotels alam ko. so talagang sanay na siya.

    alam ko sisikat siya talaga, ganun din si harry.

  • http://www.pps2.co.nr Goldwin

    so kung pataasan ng boses sina jona at regine lang makakatapat niya….

    hindi nmn mataas boses ni aicelle… average lang… pero kung si gerald at aicelle… syempre mas nakakaimpress yung belting ni aicelle altough gerald really can belt…
    ang ganda nga nag pagkakanta niya sa ikaw nga eh…. gulat ako!!!!!!!!!!!
    well, i am proud na rin dhil aicelle did her best… kasi mas gusto ko yung versino at rendition niya ng clsoe 2 wer ur….

    ang saya sa araneta nung sabado.

    grabe, sa lahat ng area, may fans si gerald!

    ang lalaki ng banner na may name niya.

    sa right side wearing yellow, kay irra,
    sa left side wearing green, kay denver
    meron din elise sa left side.
    sa itaas, mostly kay harry, pero may nakahalo sa gerald na fans ni harry.
    si aicell malakas din ang sigawan ng mga fans niya.

    PERO halos lahat ng area may mga fans si gerald na may mga banner.

    ang hindi niyo po nakita sa palabas kagabi, ay
    ang sigawan ng fans ni gerald during gaps.

    pag hindi pa start ng tape,

    sumisigaw ng GERALD ANG MGA FANS NI GERALD NA DUMADAGUNDONG SA BUONG ARANETA.

    kahit nakapatay pa ang ilaw at aninag ang mga contenders sa harapan, isisigaw ng mga fans ni gerald ang pangalan niya, may time na makikitang hinahawakan ng kamay ni gerald ang mata niya, dahil naiiyak siya sa saya sa sobrang overwhelmed niya pag nag-iingay ang mga supporters niya. kinakawayan niya ang bawat side na may fans siya.

    talagang kumokonekta siya sa mga supporters niya.

    sobrang nakakaiyak din kasi seeing na sobrang dami ng fans ni gerald, talagang grabeng nakaka touch. MAHAL TALAGA SIYA NG TAO.

    kahit sa baba, after ng final 2 performance ni aicel at gerald during ng gap,

    si tess bomb (im not sure of her name) ay nagtanung tanung sa baba na malapit sa stage.

    sa baba kasi, iyong mga tao, hindi mo malalaman ang kampo nila dahil mga walang banners.

    ibig sabihin mga pumunta lang talaga sila sa araneta ng may kanya-kanyang bet. unlike nung mga tao sa taas, na talagang magkakasamang pumunta para sa kanya-kanyang contender nila.

    sa baba iyong talagang nakakatuwa.

    una isa isa, tinanung kung sinong tingin nilang mananalo, first 4 ata kung tama ang pagkakatanda ko puro AICEL,

    nung lumipat siya ng lugar na tinanung, isa isa nang lumabas ang mga gerald, pero nakaktuwa kasi kahit magkakatabi may aicel at gerald.

    nangilabot ako kasi talagang lumalaban ang mga fans ni gerald kahit isa-isa lang sila na pumunta sa araneta.

    talagang mahigpit ang laban kahit sa mga manunuod sa baba.

    and then finally nung sinabi iyong nanalo

    GERALD pa lang ang sinabi ni regine parang hindi nako nakahinga, tapos iyong iba nagtatalunan na, ako umiiyak tapos hindi pa ako kaagad makatayo kasi talagang naiyak ako.

    tapos iyon, nilapitan ko si mark at nagyakapan ata kami, hindi ko na maalala, niyakap ko ata sila ni nhald, tapos dumating si Al, niyakap niya rin ako, tapos naiyak talaga ako kasi si al nagkikita kami sa mall tours.

    grabe hanggang ngayon ti teary eyed na naman ako.

    gerald sana mabasa mo lahat ito.

    CONGRATULATIONS!

    ang sarap magcongratulate kahit paulit-ulit!

    YOU DESERVE IT GERALD!

    can u summarize kuya_SAM?
    pls. bcoz i can’t read all of those.

  • irene.villamor

    To Goldwin:

    Pareho tayo ng bet, ang akala ko din papasok si Rosemarie, kaya nagulat ako nung c Denver ang tinawag…

  • kuya_Sam

    hi irene and goldwin.

    tinanung ako ni mark nun sa araneta sino raw toop 4 ko.

    sabi ko santoses rosemarie sabi ko.

    kaso di siya nakapasok.

    siguro nahatak ng 10% txt vote at 10% recording dahil maganda rin ang boses ni denver sa album.

    pero nung HINDI NA LUMABAS SI ROSE NUNG KUMANTA SILA NG MAGSIMULA KA, parang medyo na turn off ako.

    kinanta kasi nila iyong MAGSIMULA KA, hindi ito inere, siguro dahil hindi na sila kumpleto.

    wala na si ROSEMARIE nun.

  • kuya_Sam

    JOYANN

    wala bang bagong articles?

  • irene.villamor

    Ganun ba??? Cguro hindi nya matanggap na hindi sya nakapasok….

  • irene.villamor

    Oo nga inaantay ko ung bagong palabas ni Sarah sa DOS….gawa naman kayo ng thread dun!!!! hehehehehe

  • http://www.yahoo.com bratinella

    Congratulations Gerald! You’ve made it to the TOP! I knew from the start that you’ve got what it takes to become a STAR! Break a leg my DEAR!!!

  • irene.villamor

    Kuya Sam

    Taga saan ba c Gerald????

  • mark

    YEAH TAMA KA DIYAN KUYA SAM!!!

    CONGRATULATIONS GERALD!!! Kagabi nakipanood ako kina Michelle kasi wala akong tv dito sa manila at kahit na pumunta ako sa ARaneta, gusto ko ulit mapanood dahil hndi masyadong marinig ang pag-awit ni Gerald sa Close to Where you are Sa araneta…

    Ang dami rin palang ginawang belting na ginawa ni Gerald sa song na iyon — hindi ko masyadong napansin sa Araneta dahil nakaconcentrate ako sa stage presence ni Gerald pero talagang malinis ang pagkakakanta niya nung song, every line naiintindhan ko:-) Ang galing din ng diction niya..

    KUya SAM ippprint ko na po iyong pic niyo sa Friendster…

  • CheDes82

    Bet ko s Aicel. pero hindi rin naman ako nagulat ng nanalo nga si Gerald. Deserving naman cya eh.

    Bsta, kainlove cya. hehehe

  • mark

    kuya SAM

    huwag ka muna text sa akin, nasa kapatid ko po iyong phone ko kaya dito ko itinatanong kung iapapaprint ko na iyong kaisa-isa mong solo pic sa Friendster… ngayon lang ksi oras ko na magpapaprint… uwi na po ako mamayang gabi eh…

  • http://empressmaruja.blogspot.com maruja

    sabi sa Hi! Magazine, kapag natalo si aicelle, it’s a big loss to GMA.

    sabi nga ng nakasabay kong manood sa TV: Bakit ba ang pinapanalo sa PPS ampapangit?

    Hindi ako nagsabi niyan.

  • http://angelemmaruthmultiply.com angelruth

    don sa mga nagulat why nakapasok si denver sa top 4, he deserv it and isa pa, pag hindi ipinasok si denver ,kahihiyan na nina danny,floy at jaya yon, biruin naman nyo 8 weeks, tapos di papasok,pag nangyari yo. ibig sabihin di tama ang judgement nila for eights weks diba mga brother and sister.

  • kuya_Sam

    hi po leean_m27!

    THANK YOU FOR VISING THE THREAD OF GERALD!

    SOBRANG THANK U SA COMMENT MO!

    its really nice to hear from people na ngayon ko lang nakita iyong name sa mga blog ni gerald.

    malamang meron ka na rin dating message for gerald. pero ngayon ko lang kasi nakita name mo.

    nakakatuwa kasi ang daming nakaka appreciate kay gerald.

  • kuya_Sam

    hi angelruth!

    may point ka.

    actually nung nagperform si denver after being part of the top 4, talagang prinove niya na he is deserving to be there!

    napaindak din talaga ako sa pagkakakanta niya.

    i even thought makakapasok siya sa top 2.

    honetly kasi, i like aicel din, kaso iyong Song For You niya hindi ko masyadong nadama.

  • irene.villamor

    Hindi naman pagbabasihan ung performance nya before kundi ung performance nya during the big night….magaling c Denver kung s magaling who doubts that??? 1 thing I’ve noticed is that he has a wrong choice of song kung saan hindi lumabas ung talagang galing nya sa pagkanta. Mas lumutang ang galing ni Rosemarie!!! That’s my opinion!!!

  • kuya_Sam

    81.

    WALANG PANGIT NA NANGUNGUNA SA TXT VOTES!

    walang mawawala sa GMA dahil sigurado akong tuloy ang suporta nito kay aicelle.

    MALAKI ANG MAITUTULONG NI GERALD SA GMA!

    malaki ang maitutulong ni gerald kay jonalyn and vise versa!

    GERALD SANTOS WILL BE HOSTING PINOY POP SUPERSTAR 3 ALONGSIDE REGINE VELASQUEZ.

  • http://angelemmaruthmultiply.com angelruth

    to maruja, in fairnes di naman panget si gerald bata pa sya ang, now m,e pera na sya, and may vicky bello pa na award im sure madedevelop sya, to aicelle, im sure sisikat sya hindi man sya nanalo. the like of our other singer hwho won such kind of contest third lang or 2nd, but sila pa ang mas sumikat.malaks lang manalangin ang mga fans ni grald thats why. kahit aywa ni lord nag yes na lang. lakas power e.

  • kuya_Sam

    SA MGA HINDI PA MATANGGAP,

    TANGGAPIN NIYO NANG NANALO SI GERALD SANTOS!

    ive heard young and old peaople na siya ang gustong manalo.

    dahil na touch sila sa pagkanta ni gerald. like i said before, ang performance ni gerald nakaka touch, TUMATATAK, NAGTATAGAL.

    MAGTATAGAL SI GERALD.

    MASAYA AT MARAMING NAGDIWANG NUNG NANALO SI GERALD SANTOS!

    SAKSI AKO RITO!

    SA MGA BITTER SA PAGKAPANALO NI GERALD, wag niyo naman siya laitin, DAHIL AKO, KAHIT NATALO BET NIYO, NEVER KO SILA NILAIT.

    GERALD SANTOS IS A CERTIFIED HEART THROB!

    ipoprove niya iyan and im sure, people who did not like him before will eventually like him.

    they just have to have an open heart and mind!

    tama ka kuya sam! Walang pangit na nangunguna sa text votes!!! Kung boses lang ang taglay ni Gerald, hindi magiging enough iyon para makuha niya ang boto ng masa… aminin man natin o hindi, malaking factor din ang magandang mukha para tangkilikin ng masa ang isang artista at ang pagkapanalo ni gerald bilang viewers’ favorite eh nagpapatunay ns taglay nya ito…

  • kuya_Sam

    thanks CheDes82!

    THANKS!

    log out na po ako… GO GERALD!

    CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN… hndi kita napanood sa Unang hirit dahil nga wala akong tv pero tinxt naman ako ni Chell…

    ANG MGA GERALDIANNICTS/GERALDDICTS EH TALAGANG SOLID SA IYO!!

    At ang aming sigaw ay: GERALD HANGGANG WAKAS!!!!

  • kuya_Sam

    goldwin
    ang ganda nga nag pagkakanta niya sa ikaw nga eh?. gulat ako!!!!!!!!!!!

    - which song is this?

    dont worry love ko rin si aicel. lalo na nung i found out na mabait din talag siya pati si harry.

    but gerald talaga ang bet ko.

    lahat naman bumibirit na eh, i want to see someone na nakakapukaw ng damdamin sa simple at swabeng pagkanta.

    aicel, i am expecting that ull also have an album na solo. i know ull have one after gerald’s album.

  • kuya_Sam

    may pangit bang hinahabol ng mga teenagers,
    may pangit bang tinitilaan ng husto?

    meron bang taong gagastos sa txt vote kung pangit ang sinusuportahan nila!

    nakita niyo naman kung ganu siya inaadore nila regine, jaya, floy and danny,

    and these are all certified talent makers and discoverers.

    hanggang dito na lang iko koment ko sa napaka walang rispeto na pagkokomento ng iba diyan dahil ayokong magsalita ng masagwa.

    you’re insulting a 15 years kid na sobrang mahal ng magulang at buong angkan ng pamilya nila. a person na lumaban despite all the negative criticisms about him.

    ngayon NANALO NA SIYA, AND YOU JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT IT! PAGBALI BALIKTARIN NIYO MAN ANG MUNDO

    SI GERALD SANTOS ANG 2ND PINOY POP SUPERSTAR GRAND CHAMPION! WALA NANG IBA.

    if you feel bitter about it, ilabas niyo sa ibang bagay, or better yet, ibuhos niyo sa pagsuporta sa bet niyo, makakatulong pa,

    PERO DO NOT PUT THE PERSON DOWN.

    if aicelle and denver and hary ay lalaban sa ibang bansa Im sure maguuwi sila ng panalo.si gerald nanalo dahil nakadagdag ang pagmamahal sa kanya ng masang pilipino he deserv naman, and kapalaran talaga nya na miangat ang family at matupad ang pangarap nya sa parents nya.

    MALAKAS LANG MANALANGIN ANG MGA FANS IN GRALD THAT’S WHY. KAHIT AYAW NI LORD NAG YES NA LANG. LAKAS POWER E.

    Angeltruth Ok yon ah. Nakatulong talaga ang prayer namin. Ayaw naming ma overconfident. We still trust everything to GOD na ang boses nya ay in a very good condition at malinis ang pagkakaawit nya ng song.

    And to Maruja,

    Baka ang nagsabi non medyo pangit din. It takes one to know one di ba? Iyong mga insecure sa looks nila.

    Mababaliw ba ang mga fans kung pangit ang idol nila? May taste din ang mga fans noh?

    dun sa namimintas kay gerald,

    you have to see gerald in person.

    One question, anong songs nga inawit ni Gerald sa first and second round?

    hindi po, ang alam ko biblical iyan.

    hindi ko lang matandaan kung anong verse sa bible. but its from the BIBLE.

    KAHIT SANG SAGLILT THEN HANGGANG

  • jane

    hi, geraldians & geralddicts,
    Hats off ako sa inyo the way you support Gerald. I am one of his silent fans, sa TV lang ako nanonood. The very first time I heard him sang, I was in the kitchen and I rushed to our TV room to see who was singing and I told my honeypie, he sings very well. And when he finished singing “Hanggang” he was teary-eyed. In fact, when Regine asked him why, it was Danny Tan who answered that he sang so passionately that he was carried away, that’s why he cried after the song. That was when he was given the 99% rating. I liked him since then. Then I followed up, but was so disappointed when somebody who was not able to win 3x was chosen, siguro di pa marunong talaga magjudge sina Ariel & Kyla, he-he-he, they’re better off as singers siguro. And I am very happy that he is the new superstar. It’s true he really has that charisma and uniqueness that make people want to love him. Sana lang hindi sya malunod ng tagumpay pagdating ng araw. This early, I have a feeling that he will really be a big STAR, the way I felt about Regine when she was just starting, and also Sarah, but not Rachel Ann and Jonalyn. Rachel Ann and Jonalyn are really good singers but they don’t have when Regine, Sarah and Gerald have. Let’s pray that he will be able to handle all the things that come with success and fame, that also goes to his relatives, sana laging nakatuntong ang mga paa nila sa lupa. I agree with a post I read somewhere that his beginnings and everything about him can be compared to La Aunor. God bless you all and I look forward to reading more of your posts. Thank you all.

    PLS. REPLY!
    THANKS!

  • Amphie

    Kuya Sam,

    Thx for the info.

    Sabi ko na nga ba “Hanggang” ang aawitin ni Gerald sa round 2 para makapasok sya sa face off.

    Insurance nya ang song na yon. At Kahit anong song ang awitin nya sa round 1 tiyak na pasok siya sa top 4 based on his popularity at reputation sa judges.

    Parehong heavy songs ang Kahit Isang Saglit at Hanggang. Parehong na kaka touch.

  • http://livejournal.com/~gakuto_no_miko Le Meow~

    Congrats Gerald! I really like his rendition of Close to Where You Are. He preferred to keep it simple and clean, at talagang panalo siya sa pagkanta.. I mean the diction… hehehe.

    Although Aicelle is a good singer, I dislike her aura. Don’t ask.

    rose,

    i remember this interview, kung tama ang pagkakatanda ko, is it rose’ dad who said that they are so sure that rose will be part of the top 4.

    since she was not able to make it….kayo na bahala mag-isip.

    but to rose, sana tinapos mo iyong show hanggang sa pagkanta ng Magsimula Ka.

    sana lang para naging maganda ang show.

    sayang you were not able to congratulate gerald katulad nung ibang contenders na nagtakbuhan sa stage to give gerald a hug.
    si elise was last na nakatakbo sa stage, and was very happy for gerald. all of them were happy kahit si aicel looked happy for gerald. siyempre pati si harry and denver.

  • http://www.pps2.co.nr Goldwin

    ahhh…. ok now i know….
    sorry po sam ah…
    and to amphie…
    di ko po kasi binabasa lahat kaya di ko lam story… sorryng sorry tlga ako sa inyo…
    well.. to change the topic?
    ano poh ba tlga yung 2nd song ni denver sa grand finals?
    and nasan si rose kung wala siya sa magsimula ka song?
    pls. answer!
    i am so curyus para kay rose!

  • kuya_Sam

    again, sobrang gusto ko rin kumanta si rose. ok din siya magperform.

    kasi nga sa sobrang dalas ko sa mall tours, i learned to love each one of them.

    may kanya kanya talaga silang galing.

    even elise, lakas dating niya.

  • Amphie

    Goldwin,

    Thanks a lot sa post mo.

    You Raised Me Up is a very good song. Deserving nga si Harry to be the second runner up.

    For me deserving ang top 4 although I feel for Rosemarie. I watched yong original video clip ng Neither one of Us when she entered the final sa States. Hindi ako masyadong na impress sa rendition nya. Very forgettable ang performance nya. Although na impress ako sa performance nya sa group singing nila ng Miracle sa SOP at sa roadshows.

  • http://www.pps2.co.nr Goldwin

    to kuya_Sam:
    oo… natatandaan ko po yun…
    sa isang roadshow… pinagyayabang tlga ng dad ni rose na panalong panalo siya…
    yung dad ni rose yung mayabang… hindi si rose??!?!?!?
    yUN pO BA?
    pls. paki-clarify ng mas maigi kasi naguguluhan ako sa flow ng issueng ito…

    and i am glad na lht ng 5 other contenders ay masaya…
    yes, pati si aicelle masaya… obyus nmn eh…
    pero syempre… she gave her best kaya kung di xa magsmyl nnung una… ok lang din…
    pero di ko nakita face ni aicelle nung nalaman niyang si gerald yung nanalo…
    ano po ba itsura ni aicelle nung tinawag na si gerald ang champ?
    dun sa mga nakanuod pls. answer!
    thanks!

    actually, i really love the voice of elise. unique kasi… and to tell you frankly… para sa akin… si elise yung pinaka-extra-ordinary or unique sa grupo…
    her voice
    her body
    her appeal
    her everything
    tlgang bagay sa kanya…

    the only thing is that…
    hindi siya marunong magdala…
    parang ganun na nga…
    dapat kasi gamitin niya ng mabuti at maayos yung voice niya…
    kasi sayang tlga…

  • kuya_Sam

    nung tinawag si gerald as winner,

    parang napapikit siya, pero after, he looked at gerald with a smile.

    tapos gerald looked at him na parang nag-uusap lang sila sa mata, tapos nagkaintindihan na sila, then they hugged.

    tinignan ko kasi talaga ito kagabi.

    kasi nung araneta hindi ko na napansin kasi umiyak na ako.

    basta eto lang

    TO AICEL , HARRY AND DENVER,

    ituloy niyo lang iyong nasimulan niyo na.
    continue in proving that you are worthy of the exposure and the attention.

    bakit ang BMC nagka album di ba.

    im not saying maggawa sila ng album na an title ay AHD di ba?

    pero I think Aicel will do good kahit solo album ang i release niya.

    HARRY! grabe, with your looks and your talent, iba rin karisma mo, saka sobrang ok din ang support sayo ng family mo, for sure malayo rin mararating mo.

    basta alam ko malayo mararating niyo kasi mababait kayo.

    Amphie post #114
    That’s nice of you to say. I hope everybody’s posts uplift everyone’s spirits. Sana, no foul messages. That way, mababawasan ang mga personal nating dalahin sa buhay. A song can do that in our lives, di ba?
    O sige, I’ll try to post as often as I can, problem is, I don’t have that much info like most of you. The only thing I have right now is my hunch. I also don’t have the luxury of time, I can only post today because my boss is on-leave, may German measles sya (wish her well).
    Although I admitted to my honeypie last night (when we were watching) that Aicel performs very well, I really wanted Gerald to win, and I had a feeling he was going to win. And he did. To me, Aicel is a very good singer. But Gerald is extraordinary. Gerald can really touch and warm the heart of the audience, and that I think is the extraordinary about him. It’s like when you hear him sing, you want him to sing more and more, hear him over and over. But if I would listen to Aicel, with two songs, I think I can already get enough of her, there’s no need for her to sing a third. Otherwise, I would just listen to a CD of my favorite Regine. Nowadays, when a singer’s connectivity to audience is mostly TV screen, it is the only thing that counts. TV audience can feel that he is singing to them. To me, Gerald is a fresh, but already a full-blown talent, even at a young age. He sings full of emotion as if he has been in-loved, and hurt, pero di pa naman, di ba? It really makes people (like me) wonder where he gets inspiration. I have seen singing champions before, but he is different. Yung sa popstar kids nga, the grand contenders are all really good, yun lang. There’s no one there yet whom I would really like to win in the finals. Yun bang, parang sige lang, kahit sino manalo, ok lang. Unlike with Gerald, I really wanted, no, not wanted, but loved, him to win.
    This early nga, I am looking forward to his album that I hope I will be able to bring when I finally settle overseas. But even if my plans to go overseas push through, I will still visit this site.
    Again, God bles u, kuya sam, and everybody who frequents this site.

    Kuya sam ito na po ung article

    from abante-tonite ni Rey Pumaloy

    Ang pinakabatang contender at taga-Navotas na si Gerald Santos ang ikalawang champion sa Pinoy Pop Superstar Year 2 na ginanap noong Sabado nang gabi sa Araneta Coliseum.

    Tinalo ni Gerald si Aicelle Santos sa face off round.

    Humigit-kumulang sa P5M ang halaga ng napanalunan ni Gerald.

    Sa unang round, naglaban-laban sina Gerald, Aicelle Santos, Harry Santos, Irra Cenina, Denver Regencia, Elise Estrada at Rosemarie Tan.

    Matapos ito, napili sina Gerald, Harry, Aicelle at Denver sa ikalawang round ng showdown.

    Sina Aicelle at Gerald ang natira para sa huling round.

    Bagamat hindi stylized ang pagkakaawit ni Gerald sa final song, nabigyan niya ng malinis at madamdaming rendition ang kanta na nagpalutang sa kanyang kakayahan at tumalo sa biriterang si Aicelle.

    Sa loob ng Coliseum, si Gerald ang may pinakamaraming lumpon ng tagahanga, susunod ang kay Aicelle.

    Nagpustahan ang ilang press people na matapos ang competition na baka gaya ni Jonalyn, ipaayos din ang ilong ni Gerald para mas magmukha itong star.

    Gerald Santos, bagong Pinoy Pop Superstar
    from abante-tonite ni Allan Diones

    Ang 15-anyos na balladeer from Navotas na si Gerald Santos ang tinanghal na grand champion sa Pinoy Pop Superstar (Year 2) Grand Showdown noong Sabado nang gabi sa Araneta Coliseum.

    Tama ang hula namin kung sinu-sino ang papasok sa Top 4 — sina Gerald, Harry Santos (ng QC), Aicelle Santos (ng Manila) at Denver Regencia (ng Davao).

    Nalaglag sa unang round ng kantahan ang tatlong contenders na sina Irra Cenina (ng Pasig), Rosemarie Tan (ng US) at Elise Estrada (ng Canada).

    Back to zero ang scores nina Harry, Gerald, Aicelle at Denver sa showdown ng Top 4. Hanggang ang inawit ni Gerald, A Song For You kay Aicelle, What You Won?t Do kay Denver at You Raise Me Up kay Harry.

    Madamdamin ang pag-awit ni Gerald, powerful ang kay Aicelle, impressive ang kay Denver at may slight improvement ang kay Harry, pero kulang na kulang pa rin sa effort ang kanyang pagpapaka-Josh Groban.

    Kung sa unang round ng 7 contenders ay kasama sa judging ang scores nila sa nationwide roadshows (10%), grand contenders? album (10%) at text votes (10%), sa showdown ng Final 4 ay wala nang bearing ang mga ito.

    Ang criteria na lang ay 60% superstar appeal at 40% musicality.

    Palakasan ng paghiyaw at pagpalakpak ang kanya-kanyang ?pala? ng Final 4. Base sa ingay sa loob ng Big Dome, obvious na mas maraming fans sina Gerald, Harry at Aicelle kumpara sa Davaoe?ong si Denver.

    Mali ang hula namin sa Top 2 dahil hindi pumasok ang bet namin na si Denver at ang naglaban sa final face-off ay ang dalawang Santos na sina Gerald at Aicelle.

    Si Gerald ang unang kumanta ng Close To Where You Are, na inawit ni Jonalyn Viray nang manalo siyang PPS grand champion nu?ng first season.

    Nakukulangan kami kay Gerald dahil napaka-limited ng kanyang vocal range at hanggang pop ballads lang ang kaya ng boses niya.

    Kung si Denver pa siguro ang bumanat no?n ay baka mas maganda pa dahil mas malawak ang musicality niya at mas may quality ang boses ni Denver kumpara sa kanilang lahat.

    Mas may advantage si Aicelle dahil pambabae ang nasabing kanta, tapos ay mala-Jonalyn pa siya kung umawit kaya mas maganda ang interpretation niya kumpara kay Gerald.

    Sana kasi ay bagong original song na lang ang pinakanta sa kanila sa face-off round.

    Gabi ?yon ni Gerald kaya hindi man siya ang ?the best? para sa amin ay siya ang tinanghal na grand champion.

    Ang problema kasi kay Aicelle (na in all fairness ay mas mahusay kesa kay Gerald) ay para lang siyang second-rate version ni Jonalyn, kaya siguro mas pinaboran ng judges si Gerald para maiba naman.

    Isa pa ay si Gerald ang may pinakamaganda at pinakamadramang kuwento sa pitong contenders kaya mas maraming may gusto na siya ang manalo.

    Mas maraming nakaka-relate sa mahirap na bagets kaya siya ang nais ng marami na manalo ng house and lot (mula sa Futura Classic) at P1M cash.

    Bukod doon ay nagwagi rin si Gerald ng brand new Chevrolet Optra, exclusive one-year management contract sa GMA Network at exclusive recording contract sa GMA Records.

    Sayang at kapos sa height at star aura at hindi heartthrob ang dating ng bet namin na si Denver gaya ni Harry (na kapos naman sa talent), pero talent-wise ay nakaaangat siya sa mga nakalaban niya.

    Naalala namin kina Gerald at Aicelle ang eksena noon nina Erik Santos at Sheryn Regis sa Star In A Million na mas magaling si Sheryn pero si Erik ang nag-champion.

    Hindi dapat mawalan ng pag-asa si Denver dahil talunan din noon sa SIAM si Christian Bautista pero mas sikat pa ito ngayon kina Erik at Sheryn.

    Nagbigay ang PPS ng tatlong special awards: ?Pinoy Pop Roadshow Superstar? at ?PP Best Album Performer? na parehong napanalunan ni Aicelle, at ?PP Viewers? Favorite? na nakuha ni Gerald.

    German,masaya para kay Gerald
    from abante-tonite ni Jun Lalin

    Tuwang-tuwa si German Moreno sa pagkapanalo ni Gerald Santos sa Pinoy Pop Superstar Year 2.

    “I?m so happy for Gerald. Bet ko talaga siya. Magaling naman kasi talagang kumanta ?yung bata,” sey ni Kuya Germs.

    Ngayong si Gerald na ang grand winner sa PPS, dapat niyang paghandaan ang mga intriga sa showbiz.

    Hindi pa man kasi siya grand winner sa PPS ay iniintriga na siya ng iba at may isang bagay na kinukuwestiyon sa kanya at sa tatlo pang male contenders ng nabanggit na singing contest.

    Gerald Santos tinalo si Aicelle sa Pinoy Pop Grand Showdown

    by : Noel Asi?as

    BAGO pa man gawin ang grand showdown ng Pinoy Pop Superstar year 2 sa Araneta Coliseum, nasabi na sa amin ni Ms. Jeanne Velario Vicars, voice coach ni Miguel Aguila, ang batang lumabas na Argo sa Majika, na isa ring classical at pop singer, na bet niya si Gerald Santos para manalo sa finals.

    Ani Ms. Vicars: ?Ang laki ng improvement niya buhat nang nanalo siya ng four weeks sa PPS. Hindi na nawawala ang tono niya. Kasi, bata pa siya nagsimula noon. Nagma-mature ang boses niya pati ang kanyang style. Hanga ako sa talent niya.

    Gayon din ang impression ng rival ni Gerald na si Aicelle Santos. Nasabi nito sa isang interview na pinakamahigpit niyang kalaban ay si Gerald. Magaling nga raw kasi.

    Labis nga kaming pinahanga ni Gerald sa finals night last Saturday sa Araneta Coliseum. Na-interpret niya nang mahusay ang tatlong kanta niya nang gabing iyon.

    Kahit English o Tagalog song ay magaling siya.

    Nanalo ng cash na P1 million, sasakyan at condo unit si Gerald bukod pa sa exclusive contracts niya sa GMA Records at GMA-7.

    GERALD IS NEW PINOY POP SUPERSTAR

    WE were at the Big Dome when the Pinoy Pop Superstar 2 Grand Showdown was held Saturday night, and it was jampacked with the fans of the seven contenders. The affair was shown last night on GMA 7.

    The opening was a stunning production number with a number of dancers in colorful Muslim costumes and with host Regine Velasquez appearing from above on a harness while singing I Believe I Can Fly. With her were the seven contenders of PPS 1 led by winner Jonalyn Viray and the seven finalists of PPS 2.

    The first round saw the seven newcomers dishing out their favorite numbers.

    The two top crowd favorites were Gerald Santos who sang Kahit Isang Saglit and Aicelle Santos who covered her favorite Whitney Houston number, All The Man That I Need. They would later win two special awards worth P20,000 each. Aicelle was named Roadshow Superstar for her winning performances in Cebu, Baguio, Iloilo, Davao and Manila, while Gerald was Viewers? Favorite through text votes.

    In the end, it was the pint-sized 14-year-old Gerald who won as grand champion.

    He got P1 million cash, a Futura Classic house and lot from Filinvest, a brand-new Chevrolet Optra, a one-year management contract with GMA Network, a recording contract with GMA Records, P300,000 worth of services from Vicki Belo, one-year free beauty services and P50,000 cash from Ricky Reyes, P100,000 worth of clothes from Edwin Tan and Pepsi Herrera.

    The judges were composer Danny Tan, soul diva Jaya, director Floy Quintos, and GMA execs Wilma Galvante and Felipe Yalong.

    nax…
    aicelle says nmn: unang-una, i-bless ako ni God na wag kabahan.
    simple but that’s the truth…
    actually si aicelle.. kinabahan sa showdown nung saturday…
    kitang-kita ko…
    pero ok lang…
    sana lang magkaroon lang siya ng solo album…
    masaya na ko although 2nd placer lang xa…
    at least she proved for the past weeks na magaling tlga siya…
    the 13-time superstar, aicelle santos.
    i am proud of her parin kahit anong mangyari.

    and to gerald…

    Di napasok sa Top 4, mag-ama nag-walkout sa ?PPS?

    by : Nitz Mirallez

    Gerald Santos & Aicelle Santos
    Maraming damit at aso ang ilan sa mga bibilhin ni Gerald Santos sa napanalunan niyang P1 million for being the new Pinoy Pop Superstar Grand Champion. Ang iba?y, pang-tuition niya sa college ?pag nag-enroll siya ng Conservatory of Music.

    Sa grand showdown na ginawa last Saturday sa Araneta Coliseum, tinalo ng 15-year-old si Aicelle Santos na kasama niyang pumasok sa Final 2. Nagpapanalo sa kanya ang mga kantang Kahit Isang Saglit, Hanggang at Close To Where You Are. Advanced birthday gift kay Gerald ang pananalo dahil birthday niya sa May 15 at 16 years old na siya at milyonaryo!

    ?Kulang ako sa gamit at damit dahil naubos ang budget namin sa flyers, leaflets, posters at tarpaulin sa roadshow namin. May konti ring celebration sa birthday ko. Hindi ko ini-expect ito, nag-enjoy lang ako,? pahayag nito.

    Hihilingin ni Gerald na malapit sa Quezon City ang bahay from Futura Classic na napanalunan dahil nasa Dasmari?as, Cavite ito. Gagamitin daw niya agad ang Chevrolet Optra at excited na sa plano sa kanya ng GMA Network at GMA Records.

    Pinasasalamatan nito ang fans na sumuporta sa kanya. Nagulat ito sa rami nang dumating sa Big Dome with matching banners and posters. Sa tanong kung tatagal siya sa showbiz, ang sagot ni Gerald ay: ?Kaya kong magtagal at sa age ko, kaya kong humabol.

  • joyanntwins

    Sidelights:

    All smiles pa rin ang kasama ni Gerald sa Top 4 na sina Aicelle, Harry Santos at Denver Regencia kahit ?di sila nanalo.

    Umiyak si Irra Cenina nang hindi siya pumasok sa Top 4. Inamin nitong marami siyang mali at may nakalimutang lines sa If I Could, pero gaya ni Elise Estrada, maluwag sa loob nitong tinanggap ang pagkatalo.

    Tanggap din sana ni Rosemarie Tan ang ?di pagpasok sa Top 4, pero hindi ang kanyang ama. After i-announce na ?di siya ka-join, agad niyaya ang anak na umalis ng Big Dome at sabay silang nag-walkout. Kaya wala ang dalaga sa production number ng contenders ng kantang Magsimula Ka. Deadma ang ama nito sa pakiusap na ?Dad, we still have a production number? at ang sagot ay ?No, we?ll go home.? Hindi raw first time nangyari ?yun dahil sa mall tour, ?pag nadedehado ang anak, ang ama ang napipikon.

    Hindi man nanalo si Aicelle, sa three special awards, dalawa ang napanalunan niya. Ito?y ang Pinoy Pop Roadshow Superstar at Pinoy Pop Best Album Performer. Si Gerald ang nanalo sa Pinoy Pop Viewers Favorite.

    Incidentally, sinira ng isang nag-power trip na usher (Jeffrey ang name at number 25 siya) ang panonood namin ng PPS. Sa ilang taon naming pabalik-balik sa Big Dome, last Saturday lang kami na-imbyerna.

    Hinanapan kami ng stamp sa pagpasok namin ng patron section pagkagaling namin ng rest room. Dahil maingay ?di namin siya narinig at dahil doon, tinawag kaming bastos. Nag-explain kami?t natawag namin siyang ogag sa ?di matinong paninita?t sumigaw pa.

    Nagsumbong ba naman sa dalawang sikyo na ang katawan ay triple sa laki namin. ?Kaloka,?t kinampihan nila ang walang galang na usher na absent yata nang ituro sa school ang respect at courtesy. Manonood kami sa concert ni Barbie Almalbis sa May 19, sana makita ko uli si Usher No. 25.

    huwag naman magalit with matching all-caps. hindi nga ako nagsabi niyan eh.

    pero come to think of it, iba ang text votes sa commercial viability.

    i’ll wait for his album to be released. kung yung text votes na yun transpired into platinum records, i guess mali yung nag-comment.

    hi i’m new here!
    i’m so glad that gerald won! i’ve been praying for him. he was my bet. siya fave ko since the first time i heard him sing. grabeh ang galing! dati i’m not so into opm ballads…maganda ang opm songs kaya lang madrama kasi pro di ko ma-feel. before i find the song Hanggang annoying. but when gerald sings these songs…nakakatouch talaga.

    i think si gerald LANG ang kumanta ng hanggang sa balat ng lupa na nagustuhan ko ang pagkanta.
    yung ibang singers… di ko gusto.
    well, honestly, pag si gerald kumanta ng hanggang.. maganda….

    [color=blue][b]Sikreto ni Gerald kaya nagwagi sa PPS finals
    by : Leo M. Bukas[/b][/color]

    Gerald Santos
    SI Gerald Santos ang iti-nanghal na grand champion sa katatapos na Pinoy Pop Superstar grand finals na ginanap sa Araneta Coliseum nitong Sabado (May 6). Pinataub niya ang anim na matitinding kalaban.

    Sa first round of competition, pumasok sa top 4 si Gerald together with Aicelle Santos, Harry Santos and Denver Regencia. Laglag agad sina Elise Estrada, Rosemarie Tan at Irra Cenina.

    Sina Gerald at Aicelle ang natira para sa face-off. Pero, tinalo ng binatilyo ang dalaga dahil sa husay ng rendition ng una sa ipinanlaban niyang kanta.

    Ayon sa judges, punumpuno ng puso ang pagkanta ni Gerald at ?yon ang ikina-lamang niya sa kalabang si Aicelle.

    Maging si Jaya ay hanga sa husay ni Gerald. Nagtaka nga ito kung saan hinugot ni Gerald ang kanyang emosyon sa pagkanta gayung hindi pa naman siya busog sa mga karanasan sa buhay, 14-year-old lang si Gerald.

    Bukod sa titulo, naiuwi ni Gerald bilang grand champion ang isang Futura Classic house and lot mula sa Filinvest, isang brand new Chevrolet Optra, isang exclusive one-year management contract sa GMA-7 sa pangangalaga ng GMA Artists Center at one-year exclusive recording contract sa GMA Records, ang recording arm ng GMA-7 at P1 million cash.

    Instant millionaire si Gerald, huh!

    Nakatanggap din siya ng P300,000 worth of services from Dr. Vicky Belo, one-year free beauty servi-ces at P50,000 cash mula kay Ricky Reyes at P100,000 worth of clothes mula kina Pepsi Herrera at Edwin Tan.

    Nakasama ng original panel of judges na sina Dan-nyTan, Floy Quintos at Jaya sa paghusga sina GMA network senior president for Entertainment TV Wilma Galvante at executive-vice president chief operation officer Felipe Yalong.

    Ang Pinoy Pop superstar ay pinangungunahan ni Asia?s Songbird Regine Velasquez na nagtagumpay sa kanyang singing career matapos manalo noon sa isang talent search sa telebisyon.

    Article from Journal.com.ph

    Original style at effortless na pagkanta ang sa tingin nami?y inilamang ng Pinoy Pop Superstar grand winner na Gerald Santos laban sa naka-showdown niyang si Aicelle Santos, na may powerful voice na katunog naman ng mga biritera nating female diva.

    Sa umpisa pa lang ng kontes, silang dalawa na talaga ang mahigpit na naglaban. Kitang-kita ito sa choices of songs, plus sa napanalunan nilang special awards.

    Gerald won the texters? choice award, pagpapatunay ng kanyang star quality at appeal sa fans and supporters habang si Aicelle naman ang nakakuha ng ?recording choice? award, if only to prove na may magaling siyang vocal prowess.

    Matagumpay ang PPS 2, na muling ginanap sa Araneta Coliseum.

    Muling nagpakita ng kaseksihan si Regine Velasquez sa ganda ng mga gown that showed her cleavage.

    Sa opening number pa lang, hindi na ito nagpakabog sa mga grand contender dahil sa ?lumilipad effect? na entrance (nakatali ang diva) habang bumibirit ng mataas na kanta.

    At nang banggitin na nito ang mga prize ng grand winner, buong galak nitong sinariwa ang kapanahunan niya as a singing contest finalist na masayang-masaya na raw sa P20,000 cash na grand prize.

    Malayung-malayo nga naman sa napalanunan ni Gerald. Pero sa rami na ng milyones ni Regine, suwerte nang tumagal ng halos kasingtagal niya sa industriya ang mga gustong sumunod sa yapak niya.

    Maraming magagaling ngayon na pagkalipas ng isa o dalawang tao?y agad ding nawawala. Sana ang mga gaya nina Gerald ay umabot man lang sa kalahati.

    Joyanntwins,

    Na miss mo yata ang article na ito. Nakakahiya naman sa iyo nag research din ako.

    Santos vs Santos in last Sunday?s PPSFrom Manila Bulletin Online

    By WALDEN SADIRI

    It was Santos against Santos in last Sunday?s final showdown of the contenders of GMA 7?s second “Pinoy Pop Superstar.” The title was hotly contested by Aicelle Santos and Gerald Santos. In fact, there was another Santos, Harry, who made it to the Final Four. The fourth was Denver Regencia.

    Aicelle Santos came to the Araneta Coliseum with an undefeated status from the regular weekly competitions leading to the “Pinoy Pop Superstar Grand Showdown.” Like a prized fighter, all odds were in her favor. She was the strongest contender landing a slot in both the Top 4 and Final 2 during the finals.She also won a couple of special PP Superstar awards – the Pinoy Pop Roadshow Superstar with a R20,000 cash prize from SM Supermalls which was awarded by a very pregnant Jaya, and the Pinoy Pop Superstar Best Album Performer.

    Unfortunately, despite a soulful and powerful rendition of the Nonoy Tan?s composition “Closer To Your Heart,” lady luck wasn?t at Aicelle?s side last Sunday. The diva of the second “Pinoy Pop Superstar” was defeated by the crowd favorite – Gerald Santos!

    Compared to Aicelle?s R&B and “diva-ish” style of singing, it was the balladeer from Navotas? consistency in his singing style that paved the way for his victory. He simply sang his songs perfectly note per note and knew when and where to belt the songs to woo the audience and certainly the judges too.

    En route to the Final Four status, Gerald landed a spot with his “Kahit Isang Saglit” rendition, a popular Tagalog love song from the country?s foremost balladeer Martin Nievera. He also won one of the coveted Final Two slots with his suave and authoritative interpretation of Wency Cornejo?s “Hanggang.”

    From the beginning, there were aready good signs for Gerald Santos. The Araneta Coliseum?s lower and upper box seats were almost filled up with Gerald Santos fans and supporters. From the first round, the score of Gerald from one judge which was announced by Regine Velasquez, the show?s host, was already very encouraging. His score was the highest at 94%.

    Lastly, he was also announced the Pinoy Pop Superstar Viewers Favorite with 30% from the total 300,000 text votes and for this he also received P25,000 in cash.

    Gerald was the instant millionaire that Sunday morning (the show was taped as live at 10 p.m. Saturday and finished by 1 a.m.) as he earned a R1million cash prize. Among his other prizes are a Futura Classic house developed by Filinvest and located in Dasmari?as, Cavite, a brand new Chevrolet Optra, a one-year management contract with GMA Network under the supervision of GMA Artist Center and an exclusive recording contract with GMA Records!

    Also part of his other prizes are services worth P300,000 from Dr. Vicki Belo, a one?year free beauty services and R50,000 cash from Ricky Reyes and P100,00 worth of clothes from Pepsi Herrera and Edwin Tan.

    The judges were arranger-composer Danny Tan, director/scriptwriter Floy Quintos, recording artis/TV host and “Queen of Soul” Jaya, GMA Network Senior Vice President for Entertainment TV, Wilma Galvante and GMA Records Executive President/Chief Operations Officer Felipe S. Yalong.

    The other Pinoy Pop Superstar grand contenders were Irra Cenina, Elise Estrada and Rosemarie Tan.

    HINDI NA KAILANGNAG MAGPAAYOS NI ILONG NI GERALD.

    HE’S ALREADY GOOD LOOKING.

    HE’S JUST 15 TURNING 16 AT MARAMI PANG MAGBABAGO SA FACE NIYA.

    HE’S CHARMING NA AT HIS AGE,
    AND MADADAGDAGAN PA ANG SEX APPEAL NIYA AS HE GROWS.

    ITS HIS EYES AND SMILE THAT MADE HIM A STAR.

    MAGTATAGAL SIYA SA SHOWBIZ KAHIT WALANG IPABAGO SA KANYA.

    THE FANS LOVE HIM JUST THE WAY HE IS.

    ALLAN DIONES,

    I have never thought that it was like what happenned with Sheryn and Eric.

    I watched that competition as well, Sheryn was really my bet, she was consistent top 1 until Eric gave it all on the finals night!

    Though it hurt me to see Sheryn lost that night, I think Eric was deserving.

    If I remember correctly, it was Gary V. who said that he voted for the performance that has touched his heart.

    From then on, I realized that above anything else, IT IS THE HEART THAT MATTERS.

    What touches people is what makes a difference.
    Sheryn may have an extremely great voice, but its the ability to communicate the message of the song that can captivate the hearts and minds of the audience.

    I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT GERALD SANTOS IS THE STRONGERS CONTENDER, BECAUSE HE HAS THIS GIFT TO MOVE PEOPLES’ EMOTIONS.

    60% star quality depends on how people can react to a person. Gerald is simply adoreable to teenagers and even to adults.

    When he grows older, he can still cater to everyone as anybody can relate to his songs.

    Aicel might have been the belter that night, everybody now seems have the talent to belt out hight notes,

    but there is one contender, a kid, who HAS THE ABILITY TO TOUCH THE HEARTS OF HIS VIEWERS THRU HIS PERFORMANCE, CAPTIVATE THE YOUNGSTERS BY HIS CHARM AND IS LOVED BY ADULTS BECAUSE GERALD REMINDS THEM OF INNOCENCE AND SINCERITY that they once had or what their kids have.

    GERALD ALONE HAS THAT, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE PINOY POP SUPERSTAR…AND IT IS ONLY GERALD SANTOS!

    Tanggap din sana ni Rosemarie Tan ang ?di pagpasok sa Top 4, pero hindi ang kanyang ama. After i-announce na ?di siya ka-join, agad niyaya ang anak na umalis ng Big Dome at sabay silang nag-walkout. Kaya wala ang dalaga sa production number ng contenders ng kantang Magsimula Ka. Deadma ang ama nito sa pakiusap na ?Dad, we still have a production number? at ang sagot ay ?No, we?ll go home.? Hindi raw first time nangyari ?yun dahil sa mall tour, ?pag nadedehado ang anak, ang ama ang napipikon.

    malinaw ito, if this is true, then its not ROSEMARIE’S FAULT.

    I REALLY LIKE ROSEMARIE DIN, MATAAS DIN ANG VOICE NIYA AND PERFORMS WELL. SANA KUNIN ULI SIYA NG GMA KAHIT HINDI SIYA NAKASIPOT SA MAGSIMULA KA KUNG HINDI NAMAN NIYA KASALANAN.

I expected na mananalo sya , pero di nangyari. maybe may ibang plan si lord sa kanya, like what happen to christian bautista.sumikat kahit di sya ang naging champion. to aicelle and harry. i know sisikat sila hindi lang d2 pero sa ibang bansa din kung mabibigyan lang sila ng chance to perform there. and if sumali man sila ng singing contest don I’m sure mananalo silang lahat.to gerald, hindi naman ako against or di k sya gusto. he deserv it. and besides malaking tulong sa family nya ang napanalonan nya. though i dont like him from the very start I start to like him that night(during PPS grand final telecast.) when he cried, napaiyak ako when all of his family embracing him…. to you… i hope even if di nanalo si denver.always support him. someday sisiskat din sya.. im sure of that.

  • http://angelemmaruthmultiply.com angelruth

    mas magagaling ang contender ng PPS 2 compare to PPS 1, napansin nyo ba? at Mas maraming followers ang PPS2. sana lang sumikat silang lahat.

  • http://angelemmaruthmultiply.com angelruth

    i plan to buy , today ng album ng PPS2, Coz I like denver regencias How can you mend a broker heart. gusto ko rin yong kanta ni aicelle na all the man that I need. and yong kay rosmarie.

  • kuya_Sam

    hi angelruth!

    i also like denver.

    sabi ko nga sa mga katabi ko nung final 4 na kumanta siya magpalakpakan din kami. i forgot the song he sang, pero napaindak ako sayaw niya.

    for sure maraming opportunities for denver.

    and yes, magagaling iyong pps2 batch.

    ano po ba ulit yung kinanta ni denver sa 2nd round… yung pangballroom ata…
    what blah blah makes you…. ano?
    pls. asnwer

  • http://www.pps2.co.nr Goldwin

    IPOPOST KO LANG ULIT KASI NAGUSTUHAN KO TALAGA YUNG MGA DETALYE DITO:

    All smiles pa rin ang kasama ni Gerald sa Top 4 na sina Aicelle, Harry Santos at Denver Regencia kahit ?di sila nanalo.

    Umiyak si Irra Cenina nang hindi siya pumasok sa Top 4. Inamin nitong marami siyang mali at may nakalimutang lines sa If I Could, pero gaya ni Elise Estrada, maluwag sa loob nitong tinanggap ang pagkatalo.

    Tanggap din sana ni Rosemarie Tan ang ?di pagpasok sa Top 4, pero hindi ang kanyang ama. After i-announce na ?di siya ka-join, agad niyaya ang anak na umalis ng Big Dome at sabay silang nag-walkout. Kaya wala ang dalaga sa production number ng contenders ng kantang Magsimula Ka. Deadma ang ama nito sa pakiusap na ?Dad, we still have a production number? at ang sagot ay ?No, we?ll go home.? Hindi raw first time nangyari ?yun dahil sa mall tour, ?pag nadedehado ang anak, ang ama ang napipikon.

    Hindi man nanalo si Aicelle, sa three special awards, dalawa ang napanalunan niya. Ito?y ang Pinoy Pop Roadshow Superstar at Pinoy Pop Best Album Performer. Si Gerald ang nanalo sa Pinoy Pop Viewers Favorite.

    kung may news ka bout aicelle… pls paki post rin rito!!!

  • Amphie

    I just got the Grand Contenders Album today.

    Do you want to hear my honest opinion.

    Ang Kay Harry To Where You are. At Kay Denver. Parehong boring. Walang goosebumps. Acceptable na rin.

    Ang nagustuhan ko ay ang kay Elise at Irra. Parehong different ang style. Hindi ordinary.ang boses in Elise. May class. At malinis ang pagkakaawit ni Elise at Irra. Si Irra naman his voice and style reminds me of Usher?s record. We cannot match it but close. Pwedeng recording star si Irra. Kaso nga hindi sikat. He has to gain a lot of fans. At ang mga song na ?If I Could? ang element nya. It suits his voice and range.

    Kay Rosemari. It is just one of those voices ng mga girl challengers sa PPS. Beatable by Harry and Denver and Aicelle ang Gerald.

    Ang kay Aicelle ok naman ang rendition. She made some changes sa version. Pero it sounded like one of those acts or voice na maririnig mo sa mga banda sa club. Hindi pwedeng itapat sa mga record in Lani Misalucha, Marinel Santos at kay Jonalyn Viray.

    And last kay Gerald, nandoon pa rin ang magandang boses nya pero I was disappointed sa accompanyment. Bakit ginawang acoustic at guitar ang background music. The music is too slow. Bagay lang iyon kay Aiza Siguera. Dapat piano, violin or orchestra. Iba talaga ang performance nya sa PPS with the band or orchestra.

    Doon lang nabago ang background sa bandang huli. Iyong portion ng ?Sahana? Doon siya nakabawi ng konti. Paano ka ba naman mananalo ng Album award. Gaganahan ka ba naman sa accompaniment na yon. . If you hear the original song ni Martin Nievera, piano ang background music hindi guitar.

    Ang accompaniment ni Harry, Aicelle, Denver, Rosemari mas maganda. Suited ang guitar sa song ni Irra. Pero sa song ni Gerald hindi dapat guitar

    Satisfied ako sa group singing nila sa ?Magsimula Ka?. No complain ako don.

    Hindi ako nanghihinayang sa ibinayad ko sa album. I am just glad to patronize their album.

    Sana sa first album ni Gerald huwag namang tipirin ang tugtog para mag shine ang boses at emotion. They are shortchanging his abilities to render an outstanding performance.

  • Alaine

    From the very start, I know its you, Gerald.. I love your eyes, they are very expressive. And when you are singing, your eyes are even more expressive.. Haay.. How I wish nababasa mo ‘tong message ko.. Hindi man kita nakausap in person, atleast nalaman mo ung na-ffeel ko..Sana makilala kita. Sana talaga..

  • Amphie

    And I happened to watch iyong replay ng roadshow sa Iloilo.

    Kahit hindi nag top four si Elise, may star appeal talaga siya. The way she talks and smiles. Pwedeng artista. Class ang beauty nya. At noong mag duet sila ni Denver. How romantic. I think she can act too.

    Na mention na ninyo ang peformance ni Gerald sa trio ng Against All Odds. Ang galing ng birit nya. na OMG na naman ako. Effective.

    Sweet din ang performance ni Aicelle at Harry. Pwede silang love team. May chemistry. Si Elise at Denver very convincing and duet. I dont know if they are acting or something is going on between them already.

    Si Rosemari I think she is trying too hard. She can belt alright pero minsan wala sa lugar. At any rate, she is so pretty also like Elise and Aicelle. Artistahin ang looks nilang tatlo.

  • http://www.pps2.co.nr Goldwin

    ako rin gusto ko magcomment sa album nila!
    let me start with:

    HARRY
    pwede na rin. kaya lang, i-suggest na baguhin niya yung voice niyang mala-josh groban kasi masasawa rin yung mga tao sa kanya.

    GERALD
    fine lang. but i must say na boring siya dito.
    di dhil yaw ko siya but yun ang napansin ko tlga sa version niya kahit isang saglit sa album. sry na lang. opinion ko lang nmn.

    AICELLE
    she’s wow performer! she can definitely make her own style & version everytime she sings kaya niya ako parating napapabilid.

    IRRA
    great. but kinda boring kasi ang haba ng song and paulit-ulit lang yung tono at boses na ginagawa nya. syang at maganda pa nmn sana voice niya pero di siya marunong pumili ng kanta.

    DENVER
    boring. but good voice quality. kinda unique buy he should also choose a song na bagay tlga sa kanya.

    ELISE
    wonderful. kahit na hindi niya naabot yung mataas sa bridge na ALIVE! eh maganda yung pagka-awit niya.

    ROSEMARIE
    also wonderful. boost with confidence itong babaeng ito. marunong kagad siyang makipagsabayan sa mga ibang contenders. she also have her own style when singing lyk aicelle.

    OVER-ALL:
    maganda yung packaging sa bawat isa except yung ibang pix ni rose… halatang copy paste…. at pauli-ulit lang yung mgapix niya sa album…
    ok yung album kasi may minus-one… kaya kung gusto mo yung song lyk yung all the man that i need…. you can sing all day long!!!!

    A step closer to his dream

    The seven finalists of Pinoy Pop Superstar were presented to the members of the press Monday at Ratsky?s Tomas Morato in Quezon City. The grand final showdown will be held on May 6 at the Araneta Coliseum where the seven contenders will battle it out and one will emerge as the Pinoy Pop Superstar.

    The seven grand finalists are Harry Santos (Quezon City), Gerald Santos (Navotas), Aicelle Santos (Manila), Irra Cenina (Pasig City), Denver Regencia (Davao City), Elise Estrada (Canada) and Rosemarie Tan (US) who all have the chance to become the newest singing sensation of GMA-7. The grand champion will get a one-year management contract from GMA- 7 and recording contract from GMA Records.

    Gerald Santos, the contender from Navotas City, hopes he could provide a comfortable life to his family. That motivated him to join the singing contest hosted by Regine Velasquez. He?s turning 16 on May 15 and it would be an early birthday gift if Gerald emerges as the newest Pinoy Pop Superstar.

    ?I really want to win for my family,? says the teenager whose father works at the Navotas fish port where his mother is also employed as a cashier. Would you believe that Gerald has stopped eating fish for the time being? ?It affects the quality of my voice that?s why I had to stop eating fish for a while. I have to take care of my voice, especially since the finals of the contest is fast approaching,? he reveals.

    Gerald was only seven years old when he got interested in singing. The Voltes 5 theme song was the first song he had ever learned and the one he?d always sing in school. Then he learned to sing songs popularized by April Boy Regino. He dreams of becoming a professional singer someday, like his idol Ogie Alcasid. Gerald knows that to win in Pinoy Pop Superstar would move him a step closer to his dream. His other favorites are Gary Valenciano, Martin Nievera, Regine Velasquez, Michael Bolton, and Barry Manilow.

    Whatever happens in the grand finals, he is determined to pursue his dream of becoming a professional singer. He has joined many singing contests as a young boy, winning some but suffering setbacks as well. But no matter what happens, Gerald is dead set on chasing his dream to be a singer.

    kuya-sam,
    thanks at least kahit papano me nag aapreciate din kay denver., hindi man sya nanalo,no regrets.. deserving naman si gerald. and I hope lang matanggap ng mga natalo yon. sya nga pala kanina. I heard Denver Regencia’s song,.”how can you men a broken heart” and I happy to note na tinutogtog na sa FM Station ang isa sa album ng PPs2. lam mo kuya _sam, sa lahat ng talent search sa PPS lang ako nakatotok lalo na ngayon sa PPS2.

  • http://angelemmaruthmultiply.com angelruth

    Naaawa lang ako sa mga contenders, talagang mga pagod na sila. sana man lang pinagpahinga yong voice nila bago ang laban. kasi parang mga nangangalumata na at parang mga pagod na yong mga boses, hirap na silang abutin yong mga notes.

  • joyanntwins

  • joyanntwins

    Article from abante-tonite ni Billy Balbastro

    Mula Sunday affair para sa press sa Carabana hanggang kahapon, sa tingin namin ay hindi pinag-uusapan ang pagkapanalo ni Gerald Santos sa Pinoy Pop Superstar ng Siete. May ibang pinagkakaabalahan ang movie press.

    Dahil noon pa sinasabi ng ilan behind PPS na tila videoke queen o gaya-gaya itong si Aicele Santos, siyempre, a male finalist would win. Kaya si Gerald nga and that was no big news. Talagang expected.

    Ang “malaking balita” sa Araneta that night ay ang “pagkawala” ng Fil-Am contestant na si Rosemarie Tan. Hindi siya sumali sa production number later, after natawag ang top 2. Basta, wala na siya.

    “Nag-walkout siya, pati ang magulang niya at mga supporters niya,” report sa amin ng eyewitness. (Hindi kami nakumbida sa okasyong iyon.) Ano ba ang nangyari?

    Ayon sa isang writer-friend, tinawag ng fans ni Rosemarie na nag-walkout during the PPS show na “Lutong Pinoy” ang palabas.

    Dalawang araw itong pinag-usapan dahil balita ito.

    Pero quiet pa rin “ang walang kinikilingan, walang pinoprotektahan” na GMA 7 samantalang nangyari ito sa kanilang grounds, sa kanilang show.

    Kung tutuusin, unlike its first PPS, magulo ang second PPS. Hindi natin masasabi na they improved on the first. Sa katatapos na PPS, tila na-strike 2 sila.

    Strike 1 ang pag-disqualify nila kay Ronnie Liang.

    Strike 2 ang walkout at accusation na “hindi fair ang judging,” “lutong Pinoy” ayon sa panig ni Rosemarie who travelled 5,000 miles to be here.

    Kung ang karamihan ng contest ay nagke-create ng goodwill, sa PPS naman, talks like this linger on.

  • Amphie

    Joyanntwins,

    Tama ka parang wala na sa database ang forum ni Gerald. Wala nang access.

    Kasi naman we did not even appreciate na ang Invision malaki rin ang naitulong sa agkapanalo ni Gerald hindi lang sa Pinoy.Rickey.Org.

    Watching those roadshows at PPS I can tell that they are reading this site at Invision. They are mentioning phrases na found sa site na ito at doon. Like saludo, comparing Gerald and Harry. In PPS ate Regine extended her appreciation sa mga fans na watching PPS from different part of the world like Japan, USA, etc.

    Remember Jolina Magdangal mentioned iyong comment ni Kuya Rickey sa buhoy nya?

  • joyanntwins

    amphie…

    uu nga ehh.. nasasayangan kami sa invision…

    madami na sana ung nag jojoin dun pero nawala

    na lang ung forum ng parang bula huhuhu

  • Amphie

    Lutong Pinoy ang result ng PPS2. I dont think so.

    I have seen the performance ni Rosemari sa mga roadshows, sa SOP, ang original video clip niya when she won sa final sa States, her record sa Grand Contenders Album.

    Hindi ganon ka outstanding the boses nya. She can belt oo pero hindi naman kasing husay ni Jonalyn, Rachel Ann Go or Sarah. As I said before, ang boses nya para lang isa sa mga girl challengers sa PPS.

    Sa group singing nila sa roadshows at SOP, she even belted na wala sa lugar. Birit lang ng birit to get noticed or to outsmart other female contenders.

    At kung mahusay ka tulad ni Kris Lawrence na Fil American, you will get noticed by Pinoy masa ang will garner a lot of text votes.

    But she has a potential to be a good singer or movie star sa Pinas. She has the looks at with proper coaching sa voice niya, she can be developed as a diva.

  • Amphie

    Joyanntwins,

    Nagtataka rin ako. What a coincidence nanalo lang si Gerald biglang nawala ng Invision. Wonder why?

    It is not his fault if he is destined to win.

  • joyanntwins

    Kuwento ng tagumpay at ?walkout?sa Pinoy Pop Superstar grand finals

    MAS maraming drama sa likod ng stage ang Pinoy Pop Superstar year two sa Araneta Coliseum no-ong Sabado ng gabi.

    Habang nagyu-yosi break kami, may nakita kaming isang kotseng pinapasok sa entrance at pag lingon namin, may isang lalaki naman ang hinaha-bol ng staff who turned out to be the father of one of the contestants, si Rosemary Tan, representing the USA.

    Afterwards, sumunod na rin ang kanyang anak kung kaya ?di nakumpleto ang finale number. Walk out sila sa madaling salita although not the girl?s fault dahil pikon daw talaga ang ama nito since the road show days pa lang.

    This was after mapili ang apat na magiging contenders na sina Gerald Santos who ultimately won the title, Aicelle Santos na nakalaban niya at sina Harry Santos and Denver Regencia.

    At least si Irra Cenina, na hindi rin nakapasok sa top four, eh, umiyak lang which is but natural. Si Har-ry, napakaganda ng pagka-katanggap ng kanyang pagkatalo, all smiles pa rin siya, tanda ng pagiging gentleman.

    Anyways, happy kami at ang manok naming si Gerald ang nagwagi dahil he really deserves it.

    As for our other manok, si Harry, sisikat din naman siya dahil may matinee idol look siya

  • Amphie

    Ang laki pa naman ng pagod sa planning, designing ng banner, at efforts to research those articles and other items sa ibat ibang sources.

    And some fans put their hearts sa mga comments nila doon. It would a big waste.

  • joyanntwins

    TAMA lang din na si Gerald ang magwagi sa PPS 2.

    We have no problem with Aicelle Santos. Maganda siya na puwedeng isabay sa singers with fa-ces. Maganda rin ang kanyang boses. Kaya lang, plakado niya ang boses ng first PPS na si Jonalyn Viray.

    Every time na kumakanta siya, ipipikit lang namin ang mga mata namin, parang si Jonalyn na ang kumakanta. Lalo na sa showdown nila ni Harry sa ending when they both sang a Jonalyn song, ang Closer to You.

    Ito ang ipinanalo ni Gerald kahit marami ang nagsabing may tulog ang bagets dahil pang-girl daw ang kanta. Gerald?s voice is original, wala pa itong kahawig sa business. Kapag kumanta siya, sasabihin mong si Gerald ?yun, not ka-boses nito or katono ng iba pa. Nang si Aicelle na ang kumanta, para mo lang pinakanta si Jonalyn and si-guro ito ang ikinapanalo ni Gerald over her.

    May Jonalyn na ang PPS, eh, why get a clone, di ba?

  • Amphie

    Joyanntwins,

    Uncivilized ang ginawa ng father ni Rosemari Tan.

    Alam namin pround na proud siya sa talent ng anak nya. Sino ba namang magulang ang hindi gagawa noon.

    At least hindi si Rosemari ang fault kundi ang father nya.

    Sa bandang huli, maganda ring publicity yon sa PPS2. Blessing in disguise.

  • joyanntwins

    Kuya Sam andun pala bukas si gerald sa SIS aabangan namin yan

  • Amphie

    In fairness kay Aicelle. Meron naman sigurong song na babagay sa boses nya para irecord. Hindi naman lahat ng recording star belter or mataas ang boses pero sumikat ng husto tulad ni Aiza Siguera, Jaya,
    Kuh Ledesma, etc.

    Crispy ang voice ni Aicelle may future din ang boses nya sa mga shows sa GMA at recording companies.

    uu nga ehh.. d kasalanan ni rosemarie un…

  • RNyani

    hello po!:)
    grabeh…ang dami talagang nagpopost dito! :D

    i don’t care about the bad things na sinasabi ng iba about the pps2 results. i think they are still grieving sa pagkatalo ng manok nila. maybe they are still on denial or anger stage sa grieving process. (sorry, ina-aply ko lang natutunan ko from school.hehe)
    so to everyone who is bitter sa results ng pps2…i understand….say what you want to say…
    i’m too happy that gerald won and no bad publicity can ruin it!=D

    i know he’ll make it big.
    sure ako na magiging platinum ang album niya.
    he has the talent, the charms, and he won the hearts of pinoys.
    plus we’re all praying for him! :p

    him winning the title is not the end…it’s the start of something much bigger.
    so everyone, tuloy pa rin sa pagsuporta!

  • joyanntwins

    uu naman RNyani dami nagpopost dito hehehe..

  • kuya_Sam

    RNyani,

    siguro makaka move on din sila after their “grieving stage”.

    siguro dapat umisip na lang sila ng resolution,

    at ang resolution ay suportahan nila ng todo si aicel sa kanyang pagbabalik.

    siyempre sa ngayon ang focus si gerald, pero pag nag guest na uli si aicel, ayun dapat todo support sila. pero sana wala na iyong comparison.

    tapos na ang competition eh. suportahan na lang silang lahat lalo na ang mga santoses at si denver.

    GERALD SANTOS ANG GALING GALING MO!
    TRULLY – YOU ARE THE ONE AND ONLY PINOY POP SUPERSTAR!

    nice to hear that denver’s song is being played on the radio.

    IN A MONTH’S TIME BAKA MAY MAY ALBUM NA SI GERALD!

    BIBILI AKO NUN! AT KUNG MAY MALL TOUR! PUPUNTAHAN KO LAHAT!

  • kuya_Sam

    287

    hayaan niyo na.

    MAY RICKEY NAMAN!

    pag ako natutong gumawa ng ganyan gagawan ko talaga si GERALD! kahit mag-ernoll pa ako sa informatics!

    SINO KAYA ANG NAGBURA NG INVISION NI GERALD?

  • kuya_Sam

    for now lets concentrate sa rickey and IGMA!

    atleast sa IGMA, makikita ng GMA kung gano tayo suporta kay GERALD! kaya alagaan natin ang IGMA

    I THINK ROSEMARIE’S FAMILY SHOULD ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THEIR DAUGHTER DID NOT MAKE IT TO TOP 4.

    magaling si rosemarie, and akala ko talaga papasok siya sa top 4, siya ang bet ko aside from the santoses na makapasok sa top 4 kaso

    isipin din nila, mas mataas ang txt votes ni denver at maganda ang pagkakaknta ni denver sa album.

    kung sa road show lang, although naka 2 si rose mari sa top 3, pwedeng lumamang pa rin si denver dahil hindi naman sa dami ng pagkapasok sa top 3 ang pinag-uusapan, sa AVERAGE.

    rosemarie, sayang kasi puwede pa rin naman siyang alagaan ng gma after ng competition.

    pero dahl sa nangyari ito, join na lang siya sa american idol! why not!

  • kuya_Sam

    ADVANCED

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY GERALD!

  • http://angelemmaruthmultiply.com angelruth

    joyanntwins, opps im sori , I just thought it was you who wrote, it was from other article pala. now I understand. but anyway im glad that abante tonite write allan appreciates Denver.

  • kuya_Sam

    hi angel ruth

    i think allan from tonite really likes denver. i think it started nung press launch ng mga contenders sa ratsky. for him kasi it was denver who gave the best performance nung gabing iyon sa ratsky.

    although sinabi niya rin na talagang pasable ang pagkanta ni gerald santos at madamdamin kahit 15 pa lang ito.

    talagang bet niya si denver.

  • http://angelemmaruthmultiply.com angelruth

    Kuya_sam, I really admire those supporters of gerald like you and joyanntwins na talagang may time to post here. I hope makita ko si gerald and marinig syang kumanta in person.

  • http://angelemmaruthmultiply.com angelruth

    Kuya_sam, mula ng magpost ako d2, I admit na I started to like Gerald naging curious ako, when lots of you really love him.sa lahat ng magagandang message nyo with regards kay gerald.and isa pa, di kayo nag sasabi ng against sa other contenders. kaya madalas akong mag visit sa pinoy ricky.

  • kuya_Sam

    sana nga mapanuod mo siya.

    actually im working. medyo naapektuhan na nga trabaho ko kaka message dito. pero ok lang. anything for gerald.

    nakakatuwang manuod kay gerald pag live lalo na pag makikita mo iyong dami ng fans niyang super tumitili para sa kanya.

    WATCH KA NG SIS SA TV HA KASI NANDUN SIYA MAMAYA LIVE.

    take care!

    nga pala, i still continue my prayer at 9pm

    FOR ALL OF YOU CONTINUE PRAYING EVERY 9PM

    kahit tapos na ang laban, marami pa tayo target for gerald.

    target nating magka gold or platinum ang irerelease niyang album!

    kaya PRAY FOR THIS EVERY 9PM WHENVER WHEREVER YOU ARE PRAY AND PUSH!

    PUSH – PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS!

  • kuya_Sam

    KUYA RICKEY!

    GUEST PO SI GERALD SANTOS SA SATURDAY SA PINOY POP SUPERSTAR AND HE WILL BE SINGING HIS OWN SONG “MAHAL KITA”

    SANA PO MA-IPOST NIYO PO RITO IYONG KANTA NIYA.

  • loveghost

    congratz ang galing mo , sana mas gumaling ka pa at gud luck sau……

  • kuya_Sam

    hi loveghost!

    nice to hear that you appreciate our idol!

    thanks!

  • Amphie

    Like Simon Cowell I am taking my word back.

    Hindi pala boring the song ni Harry sa PPS2 Contenders Album. May damdamin. Hindi nga comparable sa record in Josh Groban, but it is a Pinoy version. Not bad. At si Aicelle hindi siya copycat ni Jonalyn Viray. Copycat siya ni Jaya. Pwede syang mag record ng mga song style ni Jaya.
    She is not a Video Queen. Para mong sinabing video queen si Jaya. No no. Jaya is a great singer. And Aicelle might be a great singer also.

    I played the PPS2 Contenders album for the second time and I began to appreciate the album. Sa playlists ko syempre number ang Kahit Isang Saglit, next ang To Where You Are, then If I Could, next Natural Woman, All The Man That I Need., How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, last Neither One of Us. I am sorry but I cannot finish listening to the last 2 songs. Hindi ako ma inspire.

    Last note, I have never bought American idol Contenders Album, pero I bought PPS2 Contenders Album. Iba ang magnet ni Gerald Santos.

  • kuya_Sam

    hi amphie!

    nakapanuod ka ba ng sis?

  • http://www.pps2.co.nr Goldwin

    unlyk simon, i’m not taking my words back!

    HARRY
    pwede na rin. kaya lang, i-suggest na baguhin niya yung voice niyang mala-josh groban kasi masasawa rin yung mga tao sa kanya.

    GERALD
    fine lang. but i must say na boring siya dito.
    di dhil yaw ko siya but yun ang napansin ko tlga sa version niya kahit isang saglit sa album. sry na lang. opinion ko lang nmn.

    AICELLE
    she?s wow performer! she can definitely make her own style & version everytime she sings kaya niya ako parating napapabilid.

    IRRA
    great. but kinda boring kasi ang haba ng song and paulit-ulit lang yung tono at boses na ginagawa nya. syang at maganda pa nmn sana voice niya pero di siya marunong pumili ng kanta.

    DENVER
    boring. but good voice quality. kinda unique buy he should also choose a song na bagay tlga sa kanya.

    ELISE
    wonderful. kahit na hindi niya naabot yung mataas sa bridge na ALIVE! eh maganda yung pagka-awit niya.

    ROSEMARIE
    also wonderful. boost with confidence itong babaeng ito. marunong kagad siyang makipagsabayan sa mga ibang contenders. she also have her own style when singing lyk aicelle.

    OVER-ALL:
    maganda yung packaging sa bawat isa except yung ibang pix ni rose? halatang copy paste?. at pauli-ulit lang yung mgapix niya sa album?
    ok yung album kasi may minus-one? kaya kung gusto mo yung song lyk yung all the man that i need?. you can sing all day long!!!!

    Fisherman?s son is new Pinoy Pop Superstar

    First posted 02:27am (Mla time) May 10, 2006
    By Nini Valera
    Inquirer

    Editor’s Note: Published on Page A2-1 of the May 10, 2006 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer
    THE son of a fisherman from Navotas was declared the ?Pinoy Pop Superstar? in the second year of the reality talent search contest of GMA 7.
    Gerald Santos, 15, bested six other grand contenders in a series of showdowns before a live audience of about 5,000 people at the Araneta Coliseum on Saturday, where the competition was taped for telecast over GMA 7 on Sunday.
    The third year high school student of Tangos Elementary School in Navotas won P1 million, a two-bedroom house and lot from Filinvest, a Chevrolet Optra, P300,000 worth of services from Vicki Belo, free beauty services for a year and P50,000 from Ricky Reyes, and P100,000 worth of clothes from Edwin Tan and Pepsi Herrera. He also won a record deal with GMA Records and a one-year management build-up contract with the network.
    Gerald is the youngest contestant in the talent show, which included two finalists?Rosemarie Tan of Los Angeles, California, and Elise Estrada of Vancouver?from a parallel search in the US and Canada.
    An undefeated champion for four weeks, Gerald, who was also named Viewers? Favorite after he brought in more than 300,000 text votes, bested six other grand contenders, including Aicelle Santos, another crowd favorite and the first and only eight-week undefeated champion of the show.
    Backstage, Gerald told the press that he would use his prize money to buy more clothes, a luxury that his parents, Danilo and Marian could not afford.
    ?I?ve used all of my clothes during the road tour of the show,? Gerald explained in Filipino.
    He?s keeping the car
    He said the money was also a windfall for his parents, who are struggling to raise four children on a survival income.
    Gerald said he would hang on to the car although he could sell it to buy a cheaper one.
    ?OK lang,? he shrugged, when told that gasoline prices had risen to an all-time high.
    The new ?superstar? also downplayed Rosemarie?s apparent protest over the results of the competition.
    Rosemarie, 18, who represented the US in the search, had walked out of the show reportedly upon the instigation of her father, after she failed to make it as one of the top four. She did not participate in the production number of ?Magsimula Ka? by the grand contenders, held before the announcement of the final face-off between Gerald and Aicelle.
    Battle of the Santoses
    Dubbed as the ultimate battle of the Santoses, the face-off had Gerald and Aicelle sing Danny Tan?s original composition ?Close To Where You Are.? A break in the voice of Aicelle during her performance apparently caused her the crown, even if she had been a heavy favorite of the show?s followers.
    During the road tours, Aicelle showed superstar qualities and was named the Roadshow Superstar on Saturday for her performances in Manila, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo and Baguio.
    For the face-off, the top two Santoses were judged for superstar quality (60 percent) and musicality (40 percent) by the jurors composed of director Floy Quintos, Danny Tan, Jaya, GMA executive Wilma Galvante and GMA Records president Felipe Yalong.
    Ironically, ?Close To Where You Are? was clearly written for a woman even if Tan claimed that the song was arranged in two keys to accommodate both male and female performers. In spite of a pitchy patch in her rendition, Aicelle showed more passion in the song and delivered it with better diction than Gerald?s unintelligible and lackluster performance.
    But Gerald defended his victory: ?There were judges out there who made the decision and they obviously thought I gave the best performance of the night.?
    Petrifying medley
    It was the best performance except perhaps for the showdown between host Regine Velasquez and last year?s winner Jonnalyn Viray who belted their way to a petrifying medley of songs that tested their vocals with a surfeit of high notes.
    ?Duguan po kaming dalawa (It was bloody),? quipped Regine. ?We were both wearing white so you could see the blood.?
    The show, which took more than six hours to tape, opened with Regine descending to the stage from the ceiling. Singing ?I Believe I Can Fly,? with the grand contenders of the show?s first and second seasons, Regine, in a harness secured by invisible piano wires, floated on stage?a stunning production number.
    Favorite song
    From among the seven grand contenders, the first to perform a favorite song was Rosemarie, who sang the soulful classic ?Neither One Of Us? and received a score of 93 percent.
    Next was Gerald, who sang ?Kahit Isang Saglit,? a Martin Nievera ballad, and got a score of 94 percent.
    Aicelle followed with her classy styling of Whitney Houston?s ?All The Men That I Need,? and was given a score of 92 percent.
    Denver Regencia, whose daring performance of an updated ?70s Bee Gees song, ?How Can You Mend A Broken Heart? showcased his faltering falsetto and earned for him 88 percent.
    Irra Jammal Cenina performed next and got only 84 percent for his efforts.
    Harry Santos? rendition of Josh Groban?s ?Fly Me Up? earned for him 90 percent.
    While revealing the score of a contender given by one judge, Regine explained that the total score would come from the five judges. This tally brought the competition into the next level where only four contenders remained: Aicelle, Gerald, Harry and Denver.
    In the end, only one of the three Santoses prevailed and that was Gerald, the new Pinoy Pop Superstar.

    Hi Guyz!? Wel, congratz to Gerald Santos for winning the PPS s2 aLthou the winner should have been Aicelle because she nail the 3rd sing than Gerald did!? Oh weL, that?s life!C=

    BTW, Jonalyn was stupenduous, great and marvelous during the finale!? What a vocal!? For a small girl like Jonalyn, I cant believe she has this high, belting voice of hers!? She improved her vocals and I must say, I was so blown away by Jonalyn and Regine?s Performance!? Anybody who taped it?!? email me @ arci_marky@yahoo.com. I wanna watch it again!? Kuya Rickey, sana napanood mo ung finale!? Jonalyn was so great!? sana po irecord nio!?C=

  • Marky_Arci

    To #16 under “Gerald Santos – SM North Edsa THREAD”, Aicelle did a great job sa pagkanta ng Close To Where You Are and there were no flat or sharp notes or whatsoever na knanta ni Aicelle? And her belting in that part of the song was smooth knowing na pagod na siya but she did a great and amazing job while Gerald on the other hand, Punong puno nga ng emosyon ung pgkanta nia ng Close To Where You Are pero less vocals naman ang pinakita nia and lots of flat notes and the belting wasn?t consistent!? I like Gerald and Aicelle but when it comes to Vocal consistency, range and quality,, wag niong sasabihin na Aicelle ang nagkamali sa lahat na iyon dhil it was Gerald who did lots of error while singing the 3rd song.. I would accept na nanaLo si Gerald because of his full of emotions while singing pero ung sabihin nio na sobrang ganda ang rendition nia ng 3rd song and did great than Aicelle, I wouldn?t accept it.. Aminin nio na kc na nanalo si Gerald dahil nga cguro sa sympathy and sa npkarami niang fans!? but vocally (as in over-all)?!? NAH!? A BIG NO!? No offense!? Be realistic and dont be bias!? Ndi porque fan kau ni Gerald e ndi nio na titingnan ang truth bout the competition at mgppkamanhid kau? PEACE!C=

  • Marky_Arci

    Sa kaso ni Rosemarie, I was so disappointed nung ndi cia nkapasok sa top 4!? it was ?Lutong-Pinoy? tLga!? Rosemarie won 2 roadshows compared to Denver who won 1 roadshow and nainclde lng cia dun dhil nasa Davao cla and tgaDAVAO si Denver kya nla pinagbigyan para matuwa nman ang mga tgaDAVAO pero ang mkpasok cia sa top 4 over Rosemarie who did an amazing job on the song Neither One Of Us?!? It was full of C R A P!? Lumalabas tuloy na gutom sa RATINGS ang GMA at PPS dhil kelangan pa nlang mgpasok ng tga Davao para lalong ganahn manood nag mga tga visa at mindanao!? Pacenxa na pero dpat nang itigil ang mga ganitong agenda!? nakakinis!.. Unfair!>:(

    including Aicelle Santos, another crowd favorite and the first and only eight-week undefeated champion of the show.

    DENVER IS ALSO AN 8 WEEK UNDEFEATED CHAMPION.
    correction lang.

    AND SIYEMPRE AND IDOL KO ANG BAOGN PINOY POP SUPERSTER GRAND CHAMPION!

    “aLthou the winner should have been Aicelle because she nail the 3rd sing than Gerald did!”

    comment lang ako
    THANK FOR CONGRATULATIONS to gerald
    but i beg to disagree that aicell should have won. as you can read on the above article, AICEL HAD A BREAK IN HER VOICE.

    GERALD IS THE REAL AND ONLY WINNER.

  • kuya_Sam

    323

    YEAH I KNOW. AICEL IS A PRO, TALAGANG MAGALING ANG BOSES NIYA. AND YES PRO NA TALAGA SIYA SA PAGKANTA.

    PERO 60% STAR QUALITY
    AND 40% MUSICALITY.

    ANG STAR QUALITY HINDI LANG BEAUTY ANG TINITIGNAN DIYAN,

    ang tanong kung mamahalin ng masa ang tao at aalagaan siya para maging ganap na superstar.

    IT WAS REALLY GERALD SANTOS SHOW SHINED THAT NIGHT.

    ang singing contest ba puro BELTING LANG ANG PINAGBABASIHAN.

    what AICEL CAN DO, THE OTHER SINGERS CAN DO AS WELL.

    whats new with belting? narinig naman natin si jonalyn na wlang patumanggang nagbelt. are we going to get a new girl who can’t belt as that high?

    i really dont want to say anything negative about aicel because i like her, kung titignan niyo sa mga messages ko, talagang iniwasan kong magkaroon ng pintas sa kanya.

    pero do you really think kaya niyang makipag sabayan pag itinabi na siya kila SARAH, RACHEL, SHERYM, JONALYN AT KYLA?

    sa star in a million na last, bakit hindi nanalo iyong nagbebelt na babae?

    kasi tapos na ang trend ng belting,
    chris na nag rnb ang nanalo.

    new breed na ang hinahanap ngayon.

    GERALD SOUNDED REALLY WELL SA LAST SONG.

    what made him win is his innate talent to move the people to tears and touch their emotions,

    IYON ANG NILAMANG NIYA. hindi naman belting ang nilamang niya eh, IYONG PARAAN NG PAG-AWIT NIYA NG MAY PUSO ANG NILAMANG NIYA.

    so tama na pagkontra niyo.

    MAY PANALO NA EH.

    THE JUDGES DECIDED, THE JUDGES WHO WERE THE SAME JUDGES WHO GAVE AICEL THE 8 WEEK UNDEFEATED SUPERSTAR TITLE, SO LET US NOT QUESTON THEM.

    AS FOR ME, MASAYA AKO! KAHIT ANUNG NARIRINIG KO NA IDINIDIIN SI GERALD, MASAYA PA RIN AKO,

    DAHIL PAGBALIBALIKTARIN NIYO MAN ANG MUNDO

    SI GERALD SANTOS ANG ITINANGHAL NA BAGONG PINOY POP SUPERSTAR GRAND CHAMPION.

    aicel alam ko magkakaroon ka rin ng album at aalagaan ka ng husto ng GMA.

    nakikita ko kayo ni harry sa mall tours, at magaan ang loob ko sa inyo dahil mukhang mabait talaga kayo. kaya i wish you all the best as singers.

  • kuya_Sam

    regarding rosemarie not being part of the top 4

    yes she did win the 2 road shows part siya ng top 3.

    pero sino kaya ang lumamang sa score sa kanila ni denver sa iba pang road shows na hindi nag top si rosemarie.

    ina average kasi iyon.

    and sa album na pinagkunan din ng 10% pwede ring mas malaki ang score na nakuha ni denver.

    and obviously mas malaki ang txt votes ni dennver.

    kung iyong performance that night,

    denver was great,

    si rosemarie medyo may break sa boses niya nun, halatang minalat siya.

  • Marky_Arci

    HUH?!… What do u mean by that kuya_Sam?!… How come Aicelle had a break on her voice?!… She didn’t even had a flat note on the song or a coarse voice or some break on her voice as what u r saying!… If u would watch the finale AGAIN, u would hear that Gerald did a lot of flat notes on the 3rd song and didn’t reach the high note knowing na low octave na nga ung version ng song nia unlike Aicelle na orig version at mataas!… Aicelle, has a lot of control on her voice so how come na magkaroon ng break ung voice nia?!… Gerald was a singer full of emotions, i admit that pero ang sabihin nio na nanalo cia dhil sa wala ciang mali sa pgkakanta nia at si Aicelle pumanget ung boses sa 3rd song?!… Ha! full of C R A P!…

  • kuya_Sam

    natural mas mababa iyon. chord panlalake iyon eh.

    what ur trying to say right now is that he did not deserve to win? is that what u are saying?

    GERALD DESERVES TO WIN KAHIT SAAN NIYO PA TIGNAN.

    im logging out!

    CONGRATULATIONS GERALD! you are the BEST!

  • Marky_Arci

    kuya_Sam, on ur post sa 327.. diyan lng ako ngaagree sa iyo.. I did admit na kc na nanalo si Gerald coz for me, alm ko kung anu reson kung bkit cia nanalo and i dont want to open it anymore, kaso marami kc na nagsasabi na Aicelle did lose dhil sa may break ung boses nia, iniba nia dw ung tono or note, or something not true… Knowing Aicelle na full of control sa kanyang voice, wla pa akong narinig na knanta nia na my break or flat notes sa song nia…

    And when it comes to quality and vocal range, pwedeng pwede mkipagsabayan c Aicelle kna Sara, Sheryn, Rachelle, Jonalyn and Kyla!… Kau na rin ang nagsabi na She sings like a PRO!.. bkit, ndi b pro cna Sarah, etc at ndi cla pwedeng mkpagsabayan ky Aicelle?!… Kung ky Sara G. rin lng, walang wala cia ky Aicelle… Rachelle, Sheryn, Jonalyn and Kyla ang mga katapat nia but Sarah?!… NAH!C=

    Isang katuparan sa matagal ng pangarap ang tingin ni Gerald Santos pagkakapanalo niya bilang bagong kampeon sa ?Pinoy Pop Superstar.?

    ?Hindi ko lubos maisip na natupad ang pangarap kong manalo. Nagkakaroon na po ako ng mga guestings na ako na lang pong mag-isa at patutunayan ko po talaga sa kanila na ako ang karapat-dapat manalo,? pahayag ni Ryan.

    Samantala, may kahilingan naman si Mary-Ann, ang ina ng bagong singing champion tungkol sa nakuhang tagumpay ng kanyang anak.

    ?Sana lang ?wag siyang magbago at ipagpatuloy lang niya ang mga gusto niyang gawin,? nakangiting sinabi ni Aling Mary-Ann.

    GERALD I AM REALLY GLAD THAT YOU HAVE THAT 5 YEAR CONTRACT.

    THAT MEANS THAT GMA IS DEAD SERIOUS TO MAKE YOU A SUPERSTAR.

    MAKE THE MOST OUT OF IT! ENJOY IT BUT DO NOT FORGET THAT IT WORK. ALWAYS BE PROFESSIONAL, AND STAY HUMBLE.

    I KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE VERY SUCCESSFUL NOT ONLY IN SINGING BUT AS AN ACTOR AS WELL.

    GOD BLESS YOU! DO NOT FORGET TO HAVE COMMUNICATION WITH GOD. IT IS THRU HIM THAT YOUR VICTORY IS MADE POSSIBLE.

    sana maibalik un.. huhuhu

    nasasayangan talaga kami kasi ang dami na sanang members dun tapos alam na ni Gerald na may forum xa… baka isang araw he will visit the forum huhuhu

  • MonsterPie

    “pinagtanggol ni Ms. Regine c Gerald sa mga taong kumuwestyon sa pagkapanalo nito?”

    Kung hindi nag create ng furor ang pagkapanalo ni Gerald, there’d be no need to make a fluff piece about Regine defending Gerald, kc dba what’s to defend? Questionable kc ang win. Nag-favor ang judges sa obviously lesser contestant.

    “pumirma na pala c Gerald ng 5Year contract sa GMA? di ba noon 1 year contract lang yun tapos ung kay Gerald 5 year contract so it means special talaga c Gerald!!”

    How awful for Gerald to be tied with GMA Records with regards sa singing career nya for 5 years. Look at what happened to Jonalyn’s career, wala pa rin. Anyway he “won” so he can take his “just rewards” Guess we’ll see what happens…

    “ang gwapo ng batang 2.. matinee idol ang ppntahan ni2?”

    Bulag si Ms Wilma Galvante.

  • kuya_Sam

    BULAG KA MonsterPie !

    Wilma Galvante HAS TASTE!

    marunong maghandle ng talents ang GMA. hindi nga ganun sumikat si jonalyn, pero hindi pa naman sila tapos kay jonalyn, ipoprove ng GMA na kaya na nilang magdevelop ng talents ngayon.

    NUMBER STATION NGAYON ANG GMA, MATAAS ANG RATINGS, AND KAHIT SINONG AFFILIATED DITO SISIKAT DIN.

    MAY MGA NAGQUQUESTION SA PAGKAPANALO DAHIL BULAG SILA!

    THE JUDGES, GMA MANAGEMENT, AND REGINE HAS INTEGRITY! ALAM NILA KUNG SINO ANG KARAPAT DAPAT.

  • kuya_Sam

    NEVER NAGING LESSER CONTESTANT SI GERALD SANTOS.

    ilang interview sinabi ni AICEL na ANG KINATATAKUTAN NIYA NA KA KUMPETENSIYA NIYA AY SI GERALD DAHIL ALAM NIYANG MAGALING SI GERALD.

    NEVER NAGING WEAKER OPONENT ANG TAONG RECORD BREAKING ANG SCORE NA 99%.

    2 SILANG NAKA 8 WEEK DEFENDING CHAMPION, SI GERALD NAG-IISA LANG SA SCORE NA 99%

    si Irra nga natalo si Aicel, si Gerald pa kaya.
    si Irra nanatalo ni Harry na natalo rin ni Gerald.

    kaya talagang si GERALD ANG PANALO.

    STRONGEST AND GREATEST CONTESTANT SI GERALD SA PPS2.

    kung nasaktan kayo sa pagkatalo, LET IT GO, MOVE ON!

    Regine ipinagtanggol si Gerald
    Article posted May 11, 2006

    Walang pag-aalinlangan na ipinagtanggol ni Asia?s Song Bird Regine Velasquez ang bagong ?Pinoy Pop Superstar? champion na si Gerald Santos laban sa ilang kumukuwestiyon sa kanyang pagkapanalo.

    ?I?m very happy for Gerald and I?m so proud of him. Alam n?yo future ballad singer natin ?yan. I?m very, very proud of him,? ani Regine na siya ring host ng show.

    Regine clarified na hindi siya nakialam sa judging ng contest. And she said na naging fair ang hatol sa pagkapanalo ni Gerald na ikinatuwa naman ng binata.

    ?Tuwang-tuwa po ako at sobrang na-touch. Salamat po kay ate Regine,? malambing na tugon ng binatilyong kampeon.

    Based sa post #321

    Talagang lamang nga si Rosemari kay Denver. And that 93% vs 88% combined superstar quality and musicality. Laki nga ng agwat. 5% ng singing ability nila at superstar appeal.
    In a way, I can?t blame Rosemari?s father. Pero hindi nya naisip na 70% lang ang equivalent ng 1st round. Hindi nya na realize na may 30% pang involved ? roadshow, album and text vote factors. Hope somebody explain it to him eventually. Out of anger lang kasi dahil malakas ang bilib nya sa anak nya.

    Based on the first round performance: ang top 4 ay sina Gerald, Rosemari, Aicelle, Harry.
    Hindi na mention ang score ni Elise. Disregarding the other 30%, the score says it all. Silang apat ang pinakamagaling umawit at may superstar quality. The results sa 5 roadshows reflected the same pattern or rankings.

    Baka tama ang opinion ng iba na ayaw mapahiya ng PPS na hindi man lang makapasok ang 8-week undefeated weely champion. At isa pa malaking di hamak ang lamang ni Denver sa text votes kay Rosemari. About 18% vs 4% or something.

    Very complicated din ang scoring system.

    Pwede nga palang idevelop ng GMA si Rosemari. Her dad made a regrettable decision to walk out. For him prinsipsyo ang involved.

    At kahit si Aicelle ang nanalo sa Album award, lamang naman si Gerald sa live performance singing sa same songs by 2%.

    Ano kaya ang score ng top 4 sa 2nd round?

  • Amphie

    I cant imagine Harry, Irra ang Denver sing ?Close To Where You Are? any better than Gerald. They wont be able to belt as well as Gerald in that song.

    I thought Denver is the best in offbeat songs. Gerald can do a lot better than him. His rendition in ?Close to Where You Are? says it all.

    Gerald may not be an 8-week undefeated champion but he remained the champion to beat in the end. He has proven that the 99% he received from the judges was not a fluke.

    And who said Gerald is good only in slow and OPM songs. His rendition in ?Close To Where You Are? proved them wrong. He he he..

  • jane

    Keep on posting, GERALDIANS/GERALDDICTS. Keep it burning. I am too busy w/ work, kaya di ako makapost. But I am with you. I’ll try to post as often as I can. God bles u all.

  • Amphie

    When Gerald delivers a song, he is singing, not shouting unlike other singers. He emotes with full voice, not just hum or whisper. When he sings, you can hear the lyrics of the song clearly.

    I just luv the male version of ?Close to Where You Are?. Gerald Santos is so amazing! He probably can sing anything.

  • jane

    This is just my opinion: GMA sees Gerald as a breath of fresh air in the music industry, particularly as ngayon the trend is R&B, at mga banda. Gerald’s entry is just right, just what the industry needs. Perhaps, that’s the reason why GMA offered a 5-yr contract to him. He is full of promises. Let’s pray that he lives up to those promises.

  • kuya_Sam

    hi amphie and jane!

  • jane

    Had GMA chosen Aicel, they need extra effort to sell her, they have not been successful in doing that for Jonalyn, YET, and they can’t afford to try as hard for Aicel. She may not be able to surpass what Jonalyn has done, so far, in a year or so. With Gerald, the package is already there, konting improvement na lang. Anong kulang kay Gerald: marami physically, but that is another story and marami pang magbabago paglaki nya.

  • Amphie

    Jane,

    Thanks so much for that article you posted in 321..Lots of information about the grand night.

    We never knew about the scores in round 1 until u posted the article. That answered some questions why Rosemari’s father decided to walk out.

    And I dont understand why Gerald wants to buy more clothes. He’s got $100,000 worth of clothes from Edwin Tan and Pepsi Herreran already. And I dont think he needs that $300,000 beauty treatment unless he wants to bleach his skin like Michael Jackson. He he he. Or fixed his nose like Jonalyn Viray. I have never heard a male celebrity having a nose job.

    We know he would be 16 soon. So, he can drive that car. Sounded like he is not into expensive or sport car. He wanted to sell the expensive car and buy a cheaper one and keep the rest of the money. Wise kid. Hope he remains down to earth and not extravagant. And find somebody who could manage his earnings wisely. Unlike what happened to the big earnings of former superstars.

  • Amphie

    Hi Kuya Sam,

    Kung kailan ako paalis saka ka naman darating.

    By the way, impressed ako sa comments mo sa North Edsa thread. Ang bigat ng mga arguments mo. Saan mo ba kinukuha ang mga ideas mo. Member ka ba ng debating club dati? You always have answers sa mga batikos kay Gerald. Buti hindi ka nauubusan.

  • joyanntwins

    Gerald the best talaga!!

  • Amphie

    Naka 5 postings na pala ako. Sibat na ako. Baka maubusan na ako ng ideas.

    Kuya sam nag member ka na ba sa Yahoo group. Wala pa yata ang name mo doon. Or ur using different member name.

  • Amphie

    Nariyan na rin pala si Joyanntwins. Kayo namang dalawa ang mag posts. It is ur turn this time.

    Beauty rest ko na.

  • Amphie

    Jane,

    Good opinion. Sana nga mabalik uli ang real quality sa music industry. Iyong talagang mga high caliber singers at high quality songs.

    Breath of fresh air. Sounds familiar to me. Parang ginamit ko na yata ang phrase na ito noon. He he he.

  • Amphie

    Anyway, i got carried away. Time for me to go. Talk to u later Jane, Kuya Sam and Joyanntwin,

    Have a great day.

  • kuya_Sam

    gudnyt amphie!

  • joyanntwins

    Keep supporting our young balladeer =)

  • kuya_Sam

    400 amphie,

    hindi ko rin alam kung san ko nakukuha ang mga pang depensa ko,

    maybe its because i have really watched the show from the start and i know the strenght and weaknesses of the contenders.

    i know how the judges think. and probably has an idea of how gma management should think.

    or maybe

    I AM JUST SO INSPIRED BY MY IDOL.

    i care for GERALD SANTOS that much to know how to defend him!

    I CAN TAKE A BULLET FOR THIS KID!

    OH LABAN!?

  • joyanntwins

    Amphie nag member ka na pala dun? thanks for joining guys!!!

  • joyanntwins

    Basta kahit ano pang gawin nila!! babaliktarin man nila ang mundo di na nila mababago ang desisyon.. C Gerald na talaga ang panalo

  • jane

    Amphie,
    Yeah, I agree. Gerald doesnt need to buy more clothes with his winnings. Neither does he need a nose job, konting maintenance sa skin is just enough. Oo nga, I liked MJ when he was all brown, di black ha. Pero nang mableach, nakup, bigla akong umayaw sa kanya.
    Gerald’s color is enough, kaligatan sabi nga ng mga makata. Siguro alaga lang sa mukha nya ang kailangan, kasi as I see it, andon sya sa stage na prone to pimples.

    I “copy-pasted” that article (321) from Phil Daily Inquirer on-line, yesterday, although I knew their scores when I watched the contest. We know naman na those scores are taken randomly from a judge, can be higher or lower from other judges. I was trying to find an article bout Gerald in a broadsheet, di kasi ako kontento sa tabloid eh, at yun ang nakita ko, iba kasi ang dating when an article is published in a broadsheet. I was supposed to paste it also sa yahoogroups. Honestly, I was disappointed with Gerald’s 94% score, but good enough that it is still the highest. Rosemarie is really good, full of confidence, but her voice is not remarkable. Aicel is really really a good performer, but not as extraordinary and remarkable as Gerald. A superstar should be extraordinary and remarkable, traits that would last. Kumbaga, merong “tatak”, yun ang wala kay Aicel. Yun bang, for many years or decades, you will still remember even if they’re gone physically. Ganon ang isang La Aunor, ganon ang isang Regine. We’ll see if Gerald will be able to do that. Let’s pray, he does, and lasts. He needs guidance from above.

  • jane

    Amphie,
    ganon ba, sorry, di ko pa siguro nabasa yun, basta ganon ang feeling ko bout Gerald. He is destined to give the music industry a new trend. I could be wrong, but that’s how I feel at the moment, we’ll see.

  • pps2scam

    Alam ng marami kung sino ang dapat nanalo sa PPS2. Kaya lang pinili ng mga judges yung nanalo kasi may pansarili silang motibo para dito.

    Siyempre ipagtatanggol ni Regine si Gerald kasi kung hindi mawawala ang kredebilidad nya at baka di na manood ang mga tao ng PPS3. Tapos sa news clip may disclamer pa raw si Regine na never daw siyang nakikialam sa judging ng mga contender. Ayaw nya siguro madamay sa “lutuan”.

  • MonsterPie

    “marunong maghandle ng talents ang GMA. hindi nga ganun sumikat si jonalyn, pero hindi pa naman sila tapos kay jonalyn, ipoprove ng GMA na kaya na nilang magdevelop ng talents ngayon.”

    I said GMA Records. Do be precise. OK ang album nina Jennilyn at Yasmien I admit, pero that’s cos may fanbase na sila outside of their singing career. But jonalyn is a product of their singing show, dapat mas bumenta cya, pero hindi. Cguro hindi pa sila tapos, but there have been other winners sa ibang contests nila before pero nasaan na sila ngayon?

    “NUMBER STATION NGAYON ANG GMA, MATAAS ANG RATINGS, AND KAHIT SINONG AFFILIATED DITO SISIKAT DIN.”

    I’m not doubting na number one ang GMA and mataas ang ratings. Kapuso po ako. I don’t believe though na sisikat ang kahit sinong affiliated sa GMA dahil unrealistic assumption yun. Merong sisikat, merong mananatili sa mid-level, merong makakalimutan. Ganun naman talaga diba? Don’t make these misleading generalizations.

    “MAY MGA NAGQUQUESTION SA PAGKAPANALO DAHIL BULAG SILA!”

    Wouldn’t it be more proper to say na bingi sila? It is a singing contest diba? Hindi lang visual kundi aural (more importantly)… Tsk.

    “THE JUDGES, GMA MANAGEMENT, AND REGINE HAS INTEGRITY! ALAM NILA KUNG SINO ANG KARAPAT DAPAT.”

    I am not questioning integrity. I dunno why galit na galit na galit ka. All I said is kung walang furor, walang need para i-defend. Totoo naman diba? Meron bang ganitong issue when Jonalyn won? Wala.

    Nakakatawa ka Sam, you say that naaawa ka sa mga hindi matanggap ang “pagkapanalo” ni Gerald at masaya ka pa rin. Pero parang hindi. Kung comfortable ka sa pagkapanalo niya, ngingiti ka na lang at sasabihin mo na naiinggit lang kayo. Instead, galit na galit ka, bakit naman? If you feel you have to defend Gerald, then maybe that means he can’t stand on his own merits.

    Ang pathetic mo naman na fan.

    I never once said hindi magaling si Gerald, although I stand by the opinion na hindi cya gwapo or cute. But to each his own, magalit ka ulit and i-defend mo ang “kagwapuhan” nya, let’s see where it leads.

  • kuya_Sam

    HAHAHA!

    Gerald’s going to be a big star, and that’s all that matters to me now and to my fellow supporters of Gerald. For those who does not agree, then don’t.

    ewan ko ha, pag kasi may kumakanta sa TV pinapanuod at pinapakinggan ko. kaya bingi ang sinabi ko.

    alanganamang pumikit ako at pakinggan ko lang. eh di sana sa radyo na lang ginanap ang singing contest.

    ANYWAY,

    congratulations GERALD! I’M GLAD THAT YOU ARE VERY BUSY WITH GUESTINGS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES.

    I cant wait lumabas yung CD ni Gerald, kase if I’m feeling blue or sad, i-p-play ko lang tapos mapapaiyak na ako ng todo. Cguro sa 12-14 na songs sa CD nya lahat nakakaiyak kaya mag-tatabi na ako ng 5 boxes ng tissue. Di ba ganun naman siyang kumanta…Sabi nga ni Kuya_Sam sa #327 “what made him win is his innate talent to move the people to tears and touch their emotions”.

    Tapos pag lumabas pa yung Magpakailanman life story nya, maiiyak nanaman ako. Ano ba yun??? Palagi na lang ba akong iiyak pag nagpeperform o lumalabas sa TV si Gerald?

  • jane

    ako rin kuya sam, andami ko pending for submission, past deadlines na. Talagang ganon ang buhay, di ba, meron talagang sacrifices, di pwede wala. Bottomline is, you can still be happy and smiling at the end of the day. Period!

  • kuya_Sam

    yup jane, ganun talaga.

    429 galing ni Gerald noh! siya lang nakakagawa nun eh. and Im glad you agreed! i think that’s a talent really unique for a performer that young. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    IM HAPPY FOR YOU GERALD SANTOS! YOU ARE THE BEST!

  • MonsterPie

    429 – pps2scam : veiled ang sarcasm ha. parang hindi nila na-gets.

    Sam : downright placatory. Hmm. Regarding the bulag/bingi issue, mas lamang ang aural dahil pag nag perform si Gerald mostly nakatayo lang cya. In order to “feel” the “emotional” song, you listen more than watch. His voice is what makes you cry rather than seeing him standing there. Kc if it’s the other way round, then there’s something seriously wrong.

  • jane

    kuya sam,
    I really admire you the way you support Gerald. He’s so lucky to have you, and I suppose, there are more out there who choose to keep quiet. Posting a message once in a while here is my only way of showing my support for him, most often kasi reading lang. God bles u all. Back to work na ako.

  • kuya_Sam

    432 you think i dont get that he was sarcastic?

    or iyong sagot ko ang hindi mo na gets?

    tsk tsk…

    pero sige, agree na lang ako sayo. happy?

    nga pala, gerald’s facial expression and voice are enough to convey the message of the songs that he sing.

    THANKS TALAGA, ANG GALING NIYO MAG-COMMENT.
    I really appreciate everything you post here.
    Really! Happy?

  • MonsterPie

    Hahaha! It’s nice that you try to bring it back, pero hmm nasaan ang substance? If you got it you would have commented, kc I notice na mabilis ang reaction time mo. You needed to have it pointed out to you pa yata kc…

    Yung sagot mo now ang hindi ko na-gets kc parang wala ka namang sinagot sa points ko before except the bulag/bingi issue na ayaw mong i-concede.

    “gerald?s facial expression and voice are enough to convey the message of the songs that he sing.”

    don’t you see what’s wrong with this answer? Naku naman. Don’t tell me this is all you have to offer, the so-called staunch defender. Songs that he sing should have given you a clue. I never discounted visual pero you seem to be discounting the other part. This is so amusing.

  • kuya_Sam

    hindi mo kailangang i-point out. in the first place alam kong hindi kampi si pps2scam kay gerald. kailangan pa bang mag-isip ako ng malalim para malaman kong nagpapaka sarcastic siya.

    pinipili mo kasi akong sagutin ka.
    and ikasasaya mo lang iyon.

    kaya id rather not.

    IM PRETTY CONFIDENT OF THE RESULT OF THE GRAND SHOWDOWN.

    I AM CONFIDENT OF GERALD SANTOS.
    HE DESERVES THE TITLE.
    NO ONE ELSE!

    IMPORTANTE, MARAMING NANINIWALA SA KANYA!
    and kung hindi kayo isa ron, opinyon niyo iyon eh. if we argue, walang mangyayari kasi talagang magkakaiba ang pag-iisip natin.

    PERO IN BEHALF OF THE MANY FANS OF GERALD!
    BILIB KAMI SA KANYA AT WALA NA AKONG IBA PANG TAONG MAISIP NA KARAPAT – DAPAT PARA MANALO KUNG HINDI SIYA LANG.

    CONGRATULATIONS ULI GERALD!

  • kuya_Sam

    GUYS!

    GERALD SANTOS WILL BE AT EAT BULAGA THIS AFTERNOON!

    NUOD PO KAYO HA!

  • kuya_Sam

    nga pala, if i dont answer any of your comments after this, that means i did not read them at all.

    WE KNOW WHO WON, and IF ITS THE OTHER WAY AROUND, BAKA MARAMI RING MAG REACT, but

    ITS GERALD SANTOS WHO WON.
    I JUST THANK GOD THAT HE WAS THE ONE DESTINED FOR THE TITLE.

    HE WAS BORN TO BE WHERE HE IS RIGHT NOW!
    if you guys arent happy for him, then find something else to be happy about, coz really, nakaka drain when you are not happy about something.

    AS FOR ME, SOBRANG BUSOG NA BUSOG AKO SA KAGALAKAN, DAHIL IYONG TAONG SINUPORTAHAN NAMIN AY ANG NAPILING KAMPEON!

    SMALL BUT TERRIFIC
    from journal.com.ph

    HE?S small, but what a terrific voice Gerald Santos possesses, which made the judges declare him the grand winner in GMA 7?s Pinoy Pop Superstar last Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum.

    He was the crowd favorite since every time his name was mentioned, deafening cheers from all around the Big Dome were heard. We were not surprised at all that he bagged the coveted title.

    The youngest of the seven PPS Year 2 finalists, Gerald joined the competition to help his family.

    He is featured in the Grand Contenders album with his compelling version of Kahit Isang Saglit. Vintage ballads, which Gerald delivers with pure charm and without effort, have been his strength.

    Premyo sa ?PPS 2? ?di pa nahahawakan ng grand winner
    by Ogie Diaz from journal.com.ph

    MARAMI nang humihingi ng balato kay Gerald Santos pagkatapos siyang tanghaling the only Pinoy Pop Superstar.

    ?Hindi ko pa po nakukuha ?yung P1 million kong prize, eh. Saka hindi pa rin po kami nakatira sa house and lot na premyo ko at hindi pa rin po ako nakasasakay sa brand new car na bigay din po ng GMA!?

    Kung tititigan mo si Gerald, maamo ang kanyang mukha, puwede ring nakaaawa, kaya kuha niya ang simpatya ng publiko.

    Pero since bahagi rin ng kanyang napanalunan ang P300,000 worth ng Belo services, wala ba siyang balak na magpatangos ng ilong tulad ng ginawa dati ni Rachelle Ann Go?

    ?Wala na po akong planong magpa-noselift. Okay na po sa akin ang ilong ko. Magpapakinis na lang po ako ng kutis sa Belo!?

  • joyanntwins

    Kuya sam andun nga po c Gerald sa Eat Bulaga he sings Mahal Kita galing niya po

  • http://goldroof14.blogspot ycerp

    Hi everyone. I found this thread while browsing the Net for Gerald Santos. I must say I am (and my fiance) his avid fan since the first time he appeared in PPS during the elimination. His voice and melody is really very captivating. He sings with his heart and soul. When he sings, it’s as if he sings to each and everyone in the audience. He really can touch all hearts. While watching him sing during the final judgment night, I was in tears, just like Jaya, because of his very sincere and soothing voice. How I wish I can reach him directly to congratulate him and express how he’s admired. My greatest wish is to actually have him present on our wedding day to sing Wency Cornejo’s song, which happens to be our theme song. But I guess, with his fame and fortune now, that’s impossible. But if ever, he will definitely make our most special day, extra special.

    Again, Congratulations Gerald. We wish you all the best. Keep singing good music. You really deserve what you have achieved. May God bless you always.

    – Precy (and Rich)

  • kuya_Sam

    hi YCERPT/PRECY and Rich!

    its nice to hear from you! welcome po!
    gerald’s voice is perfect for weddings as well, sana nga mabasa niya ito baka sakali.

    hope to hear more from you!

  • jhayfox

    hello sa lahat, for me its either of the two who will win is goin to be okay, coz honestly i dont have my bet for this second season unlike last year which right from the first week of jonalyn viray till the grandshowdown shes my personal favorite talaga coz i know she will goin to win coz of her very powerful vocal range,, grabe its spinto suprano,.. so like sa mga fans ni gerald ai na iintindihan ko talaga ang feelings nila na nanalo c gerald, and im happy for you gerald at sa mga fans nito,, lets not worry di cla pababayaan ng GMA management,,, so goodluck nalang at saka God bless ng mga GMA singers.

  • kuya_Sam

    THANKS A LOT JHAYFOX!

    thanks!

    to all charmaicellians:
    it is time to make a change!
    let us not worry for aicelle will surely shine someday!
    and someday, she will also have her own solo album!

  • jane

    Gerald has a lot of silent fans here in my office. And it’s true, he’s able to reach out to both young and the young once. That’s the magic of music, the magic of Gerald’s music. No other contender was able to do that, not even one from the PPS1 contenders. It was only when he won that I began to surf the net for news about stars, actually yun lang sa kanya ang hinahanp ko. I did not search for any news about PPS1 last year. But now, well, as I said, that’s magic. That’s what a future big star can do.

  • jhayfox

    ur welcome sam.. u know what guys gusto ko d2 sa blog na to kc,, in fairness mga nice ang mga members at walang harsh na mga comments,, unlike sa ibang blog napaka harsh parang ang laki ng galit nila sa mundo..well anyway opinion nila yun sana man lang di maxado masakit…

    anyway me napansin me nga pala during sa final four, cguro mas okay yun if si rosemarie ang na qualify sa final four compared to denver,, kulang kc ng power si denver eh, pero wla na tau magagawa kc nga di tau ang judges heheheh

    sana me segment sa SOA para kai gerald, brenan, aicelle at jonalyn, sana bigyan pa cla ng more more projects ng GMA para di na lumipat,, me potential cla lahat.. ako nga at my age now.. grabe now lang ako nag ka addict sa mga pinoy young singers,,, wow talaga… ai xa nga pala,,, sa mga gustong makita muli ang finale ni regine at jonalyn,, follow this link
    lyn and Regine B2B”:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bwfpOaXD18#jArTemkZvH0.

  • joyanntwins

    jhayfox napanood mo ba ung sa SIS noon nag duet na sina Gerald and Jonalyn.. grabee galing nila… FOREVER yata ung song…

  • Amphie

    Jane and Kuya Sam,

    Hindi lang kayo naapektuhan sa trabaho. Ako rin. Limang beses na akong na late sa trabaho dahil sa ka po post dito.He he he. Buti panay verbal warning lang ang na receive ko. Baka next time written warning na. LOL.

    At may personal projects din akong dapat asikasihun after work kaso na delay dahil sa pag fo follow up sa PPS2 happenings.

    Ngayong nanalo na si Gerald medyo makapag rerelax na siguro ako. I can attend to other personal projects now.

    I am glad na marami na siyang guesting. At solo na ang performance niya di tulad noong na konti lang ang part niya sa group singing.

    At hindi pa pala natatanggap ang mga prizes niya. How soon kaya? We hope his parents would manage his money properly. Sino kaya ang magiging manager ni Gerald?

  • Amphie

    Sana mag back to back din sina Jonalyn at Gerald.

    Napanood ko ang video ng B2B nina Ate Regine at Jonalyn. Sigawang umaatikabo. He he he.. Lovely ang dress ni Regine noong lumipad.

  • Amphie

    Ang bagal na ng response sa thread na ito. Ang haba na kasi. Over 450 na.

  • http://www.abs-cbn.com Maryano Burmeda

    hello po sa inyong lht!!!

  • kuya_Sam

    ako eto, lampas nako sa time ng work ko, sa sobrang addict ko rito ayan naghahabol ako. hehe!

  • jane

    Amphie,
    Ay naku, buti na lang may German measles boss ko, natuwa raw ba? Buti nakahabol ako sa isa kong deadline. I can browse naman anytime kaya lang, di ko magawang magpost kasi nga dami trabaho, 2 to 5 mins make a difference lalo na sa writing.
    Maganda nga siguro ang duet w/ Jonalyn, but I prefer yung solo ni Gerald, mas enchanting, mas soulful and heartfelt talaga. Nakakainip nga ang solo album nya. Sana choice cuts talaga ang contents non.
    Yun namang other projects sa kanya, sana wag lang nila madaliin ang pagbuild-up, baka magaya lang kay Sarah G, I have read an article sa Star n parang hinog sa pilit yung paglaunch sa kanya as an actress, kaya ayun, di ganon kaingay. Her handlers could have waited at the proper time. Sana, dahan lang, anyway he’s still young and there’s a lot of time ahead. Happy weekend, Geraldians. I may not be able to read your messages over the weekend but I will be looking forward to reading them on Monday. God bles u all. Keep smiling and praying.

    sa mga naninira sa kanya…ok lang yan…sige, ipalabas ninyo yang galit ninyo.
    but i know that someday Gerald Santos will prove to all of you na hindi naniniwala sa kanya na tama ang naging disisyon ng pps2.
    malaki ang tiwala ko kay Gerald.

    to all loyal geraldians…thank you for defending gerald.
    let’s just keep on supporting him.

  • kitting

    some facts about PPS…
    the show is rigged!
    anyone from the US and Canada do not have a chance! the contenders from the PI were told before the contenders from canada and the US showed up, to step up their game because they are not going to have a winner from overseas! then why even have them? because they want to USE the poor kids from Canada and the US to boost their ratings! it is not fair!

    a lot of people think that just because the two from Canada and the US are mayaman they don’t deserve to win. but in fact they are not mayaman, they just have different struggles than the people in the PI. if you feel sorry for gerald because you think he’s poor and he deserved to win that money for his family, well let me tell you a little about how poor his family is. gerald has had braces, he owns a VIDEO iPOD (i live in the states and can’t even afford that!!) he has brand name cologne and can even afford to always buy new tennis shoes (this is before he won). does that sound poor to you?

    reevaluate what you think is a good performance. a true “superstar” can adapt to ANY kind of song and any situation. do you really think that the winner of year 2 to can do that?

    you think that it was unprofessional of rosemarie to walk out. you don’t know the half of how unprofessional the staff at PPS is. they claimed at north edsa that rosemarie’s family only bought 1 cd to get into the show but her entire family was able to get in (1 cd let 2 people into the seating area). some of that family was from the states, do you really think that after coming from the states that they can’t afford to buy a cd? BUT when gerald’s fan actually scammed to get free tickets for areneta (1 cd got 5 tickets. they bought 2 cds and just had different people showing up saying they didn’t receive tickets) this happened right in front of PPS staff, NOTHING was done! PPS only wants someone they can control. the santos had so many fans at areneta because PPS PAID them to cheer for them! if they want someone who lives in the PI to win the contest then leave the competition in the PI. PPS is rigged and not a true competition. it is a POPULARITY CONTEST and PPS hand picks who they want to win!

  • kuya_Sam

    so do you really think a branded cologne, braces, and ipod makes a person rich?

    di mo ba naisip na pwedeng bigay iyon mga iyon ng mga taong nagmamahal kay gerald dahil marami ngang taong humahanga sa kanya kahit nung mas bata pa siya? nakita mo na ba kung san sila nakatira?

    tanggapin niyo na marami talagang fans ang mga santoses.

    i was there at araneta, i was there at 5 of their mall tours, at ginawa ko iyong to support gerald, so don’t claim na nagbayad ng fans ang pps para tilian ang mga santoses.

    tapos na iyong competition, ilang araw na nakalipas. tanggapin niyo na lang.

    tanggapin niyong natalo kayo.

    pag natanggap niyong natalo kayo, baka saka kayo maka move on.

  • kuya_Sam

    HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY GERALD!

    YOU DESERVE ALL THE HAPPINESS BECAUSE YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON AND THE BEST TALENT GMA HAS EVER DISCOVERED!

  • kuya_Sam

    487: your facts are not facts!

    ang inggit talaga iba ang epekto sa tao. kaya sana maging masaya na lang kayo para sa nanalo. inggit will haunt you for life kung hindi niyo pakawalan iyang frustration niyo.

    mas masarap maging masaya!

  • kitting

    i didn’t say gerald was rich! but if he is so poor how could he afford braces. okay, maybe he was given the ipod and the shoes, but unless gerald was known WAY before PPS and someone gave him braces, then fine! but i don’t think so. just because someone is from the US do you think they are rich? i don’t thinks so! i was there at north edsa i was there at araneta and the fans of the santos kept on saying that rosemarie is mayaman and to go home! we are not inggit we just want justice! we want a fair competition if PPS is going to INVITE a contender from the US and Canada. if it was a fair and justified win, then why did Regine Velasquez, the host of the show, call a meeting of all the PPS staff questioning why gerald won? because even she know that her reputation is on the line. i don’t have anything against the santos, it is the staff of PPS. good for gerald that he won, but of the final two it should have been aicelle!

  • kuya_Sam

    i cant comment ‘coz i dont know where you are getting all your information.

    i doubt regine would question gerald’s victory. its pretty obvious that she admires gerald’s singing.

    i doubt she would question the judges’ decision. HINDI MAKITID ANG UTAK NI REGINE.

    i dont know if gerald had braces as well. so hindi ko masasagot.

    I THINK YOU ARE ONE OF THE RELATIVES OF ROSE.

    marami kang alam, and sad to say, kanino pa manggaling ang mga istoryang iyan.

    dont say good for gerald that he won tapos sasabihin mo dapat si aicelle,

    GERALD DESERVES TO WIN OVER AICELLE.

    sa dami ng divas sa pilipinas, wala pinagkaiba si aicele,

    and gerald has a unique talent.

    TALAGANG KARAPAT DAPAT SIYA. WALA NANG IBA.

    NAKAKALUNGKOT MGA COMMENTS MO, KASI NAKIKITA KONG NAGHIHIRAP ANG KALOOBAN MO.

    LET IT GO.

  • nakakabanas

    Mas lalo namang walang pinagkaiba si Gerald sa mga balladeer dyan sa Pinas. Haller. Si Aicelle may sariling style. Si Gerald copycat.

  • kuya_Sam

    OH WELL.

    ITS BEEN A WEEK. I KNOW THIS WILL COME TO PASS.

    GERALD WON. THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS TO ME! AND I AM SO HAPPY THAT HE WON!

  • kitting

    maybe i am a relative of rose or maybe elise. i am not using this site to vent or attack anyone of the contenders of PPS year 2. whether or not you believe me, i just want people know that this IS what happened. if PPS is going to have this kind of competition KEEP IT IN THE PI. don’t invite people from the US or Canada. it is not a fair competition. those who are talented will shine regardless of this show.

  • nakakabanas

    Kuya_sam, yaan mo n yung ibang taong magcomment…

    hirap nmn sayo lahat ng comment pinpatulan mo… siguro nmn hndi magiimbento yung tao unless valid ung source nya.

    Cguro kya rin tlga nagpameeting si regine kse alam nya na may mas deserving manalo…her reputation is on the line…

  • pps2scam

    They just showed PPS2 grand showdown here sa states, Lahat ng kasama kong nanood ay nagtataka kung bakit nanalo si Gerald over Aicelle. According to one of them, “Busog daw si Gerald kasi kinain nya iyung lyrics nung last song nya.”

    P.S. sila nagsabi nun…english daw kase

    SA AKING PANGAKO
    SANA’Y UMASA KA
    MAHAL KITA, MAHAL KITA
    WALA NANG IBA PA

    KUNG NASAAN KA,
    NAROON ANG LANGIT KO
    LAHAT NG ARAW,
    NAGDIRIWANG AKO
    DITO SA AKING PUSO
    ANG ATING PARAISO
    ANG TAHANAN NG PAG-IBIG
    NA DI MAGBABAGO

  • jane

    Hi, kuya Sam & Amphie,
    Ang hirap talaga sumingit sa work, ano? Eto nga kababalik ko lang from a meeting. Still have to take my late lunch but I browsed your messages first. You know I had this strange feeling when Garald was being interviewed on TV, para bang I was worried with what he’s going to say, para bang gusto ko sya i-coach, he-he-he. Anyway, kailangan nya ng personality development at kung ano-ano pa, basta wag lang nose job. Joey Marquez said na makinis na skin nya ng magTY sya kay Vicky Belo.

  • kuya_Sam

    495 THANK YOU RELATIVE OF ROSE OR ELISE!

    496 THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING 495.

    I STILL DONT THINK REGINE WOULD DO THAT. SHE KNOWS THE JUDGES WELL TO QUESTION THEIR DECISION.

    nagbibigay kayo ng opinion niyo, eh di ngbibigay din ako ng opinion ko.

    and I THINK STORIES LIKE THESE COME OUT FROM THOSE WHO CANT ACCEPT DEFEAT.

    whether Gerald won or Aicel, I’m pretty sure these kinds of stories would come out FROM THOSE WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE RELATIVE OF ROSE OR ELISE.

    ITS JUST SO SAD, KASI PINAGTATANGGOL KO DATI IYONG IDINIDIIN NA NAGWALK OUT. KAHIT BASAHIN NIYO PA mga dati kong messages.
    IPINAGTATANGGOL KO IYONG DALAWANG CONTENDERS ABROAD.

    BUT IF THESE STORIES COME OUT FROM THEM AND IS POSTED BY THEIR “MAY BE OR MAY BE NOT” THEIR RELATIVES ….. haaay, inaantok na ako, wag na lang magsalita….

    BASTA NANDITO KAYO SA BLOG NG SINUSUPORTAHAN NAMING CHAMPION. SO IF WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS TO PUT HIM DOWN, MAY KARAPATAN AKONG PATULAN IYON.

    kasi dito lang naman ako sumasagot eh. KUNG SA FORUM NG IBANG CONTENDERS KAYO MAGSULAT NG KUNG ANO-ANO, REST ASSURED, HINDI KO PAPAKIALAMAN IYON.

  • betchay

    nakakaaliw basahin ‘tong site na ‘to. OMG, ang tindi ng depensa ng kuya_sam dun kay gerald. curious lang ako, bading ka ba kuya sam? kasi kulang na lang eh magpatayo ka ng rebulto para sa gerald na ‘to, ‘oy bata pa yan. naintriga tuloy ako, pinanood ko yung video ng bata eh susmaryosep nagfaflat ang boses niya. mas magaling pa yung aicelle saka yung rosemarie. ay oo nga pala ilan ba yung bakla sa judges that night? tsk tsk kawawa naman yung ibang kasali, hindi na-appreciate yung mga talent nila. oh well….

    How can we explain musicality ? Musicality is a complex human action as a result of many factors. The first pre-requisite is the feeling for rhytm and the ability to reproduce the preset rhythm. An exact ear or the understandings of acoustical sensations is absolutely necessary as the next pre-requisite as well again the ability to reproduce acoustical sensations in precise pitch. But this are pre-requisites only.
    The other important requirements: an instantaneous understanding of written rhythm and written music including all different expression and dynamical marks. But not enough: instantaneous understanding of the given mood is also necessary, plus the ability to integrate one’s own playing into the organism of the music and/or of the ensemble.

    Again, this is not enough: one has to understand where to place the beat or more emphasis, one has to understand one’s own importance or unimportance as part of the musical action. One has to know also which notes are more important than others, where to reduce the dynamics even for up to two steps or where to rise the dynamic level even for up to two or sometimes three steps.

    And again, this is not enough, as one has to understand the musical forms & miniforms (“gruppetti”) instantaneously.

    Some of this abilities can be acquired by hard work or simple experience: rhythmical training, ear training, recognizing forms knowing the works very well. Exact memory for music is a good tool also, but requires some analytic memory. Feeling for forms & the interaction between forms can be developed by great experience in the arts, in all arts, which can be acquired by visiting museums, reading encyclopaedias, specially about the classical arts from Egyptian arts to Greece & Rome. So one gets a feeling about esthetic.

    But most of it, musicality is depending on intelligence as it is part of the intelligence. Provocative ? Me ? Yes ! You should know, that shaking the body more or less within the rhythm or starting grinning while listening music or starting humming less out of tune than others, that’s not musicality. Musicality is more. Playing a piece in tune, playing the right notes at the right place, is not enough. Musicality is more. Like intelligence it is a gift of nature, plus much work.

    — I found this article about musicality…read it and decide who has it…

    Only time will tell the success of Gerald. But, if it is anything like Jonalyn Viray’s success it does not look promising…

    “BASTA NANDITO KAYO SA BLOG NG SINUSUPORTAHAN NAMING CHAMPION. SO IF WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS TO PUT HIM DOWN, MAY KARAPATAN AKONG PATULAN IYON. ”

    HAHAHA! What gall! Self-appointed Gerald defender pero tiklop naman pag hinarapan mo ng kahit kaunting logic. Last I checked blog to ni Rickey, hindi ni Gerald Santos. The post is about Gerald pero excuse me, wala kang karapatan na mas mataas sa iba. Who died and made you president of the universe? As visitors of this site, pare-pareho lang tayo. Supporters o hindi, kapuso o kapamilya, poster o lurker. Wag kang magmagaling!

    With regards dun sa ina-accuse mo na baka kamag-anak ni Elise or Rosemarie, does she need to be connected to someone para magreklamo? A lot of people who saw the show questioned din why it was Denver and not Rosemarie who got in sa Top 4.

    There’s no way to confirm the “inside info” but we should give it the benefit of the doubt. Kung hindi makitid ang utak ni Regine, hindi rin dapat makitid ang utak natin! BTW, how well do you know Regine? Napaka-assuming mo sumagot e, ano bang alam mo? Kwento mo naman.

    “BUT IF THESE STORIES COME OUT FROM THEM AND IS POSTED BY THEIR ?MAY BE OR MAY BE NOT? THEIR RELATIVES ?.. haaay, inaantok na ako, wag na lang magsalita?.”

    Grabe ang implications nito ha. Sino kaya ang makitid ang utak? It’s like you take these comments as smear campaign against your “champion” when in fact credibility ng show ang kini-question dito. Wala pang credibility si Gerald na masisira so don’t bust you head being angry. Kulang kasi ang PPS sa transparency. They announced a score for every contestant para takamin ang audience pero at the end naman, hindi nila cnabi ang average scores ng bawat isa. Cguro sa susunod matututo na sila. Mas mahirap kuwestiyonin kung may mga numero.

    I doubt that this is a controversy they wanted. Maraming tao ang nawalan ng tiwala sa PPS after that Final showdown. Walang tiwala sa show, walang tiwala sa champion. Pare-pareho lang silang magsa-suffer.

    As for Gerald’s unique talent, and ang pagkakapareho ni Aicelle sa ibang divas, pwedeng paki-expound? Ang tanging nakikita kong pagkakaiba ni Gerald sa ibang balladeers ay ang flat nyang pagkanta. Unique na ba yun sa iyo? Napakababa naman ng standards mo. As for Aicelle, cno ang kagaya nya? Hindi birit queen si Aicelle (Regine, Sarah, Sheryn) at hindi rin cya RnB (Kyla, Nina). The closest you can compare her with is Jaya, pero hindi pa rin dahil may jazz feel ang mga kanta nya. Cno bang mainstream singer ngayon nag kumakanta ng jazzy ballads?

    Alam ko bulag at bingi ka para kay Gerald Santos, pere sana naman minsan ginagamit mo ang utak mo. Defend ka ng defend pero sumasablay naman, kanino kaya nag-rereflect ito? I doubt na may reputasyon kang dapat alagaan.

    WATCH OUT FOR GERALD SANTOS!

    EXTRA CHALLENGE!
    WALANG TULUGAN MASTERSHOWMAN!

    POP STAR KIDS!

    IBA TALAGA PAG GRAND CHAMPION NG PINOY POP SUPERSTAR!

  • kuya_Sam

    ANG DAMING GUESTING NI GERALD!

    uy may message pala galing sa mga nang-aaway sa PPS at kay Gerald.

    Like I said, I won’t be reading any of it anymore.

    SAYANG SA ORAS!
    I’d rather SUPPORT MY IDOL THAN DESTROY ANOTHER PERSON.

    KASI NGA NAMAN KAHIT ANONG SABIHIN NILA,

    GERALD HAS THE TITLE!

    pasabugin at paduguin niyo pa ang mga utak niyo sa pag-iisip na dapat si Aicel ang nanalo, hindi niyo na maibabalik ang panahon.

    NATALO NA SI AICEL. NATANGGAP NA NIYA. TANGGAPIN NIYO NA LANG.

    nga pala, masaya ako dahil nung sunday nagpa-picture ako with Aicel. I think its my second picture with her.

    kasi I support her too. GO AICEL! MAGALING KA, MAGANDA KA, AT MABAIT KA!

    di ba mas masarap mamuri kaysa mamintas!

    MAS MASAYA SUMUPORTA KAYSA MANIRA.

    paduguin niyo pa at pasabugin ang utak niyo sa haba ng mga pino post niyo,

    BUMABALIK LANG IYAN SA KATOTOHANAN NA HINDI NIYO MATANGGAP ANG PAGKATALO!

    sinabi namin dati na kahit manalo o matalo, we will not stop supporting Gerald, at never din kami nag-isip na siraan kung sinong manalo!

    naalala ko iyong Shanen na nagsabing babalikan niya kami pagkapanalo ni Aicel, siguro nga nagbalik na siya, kaso nagpalit siya ng pangalan.

    MAHIRAP MAPAHIYA, PERO LALO NIYONG IDINIDIIN ANG PAGKAPAHIYA NIYO SA PAGIGING BITTER NIYO.

    NAKAKALUNGKOT, ILANG ARAW NA, NANGGGAGALAITI PA RIN KAYO.

    NAKAAWA. HINDI GRACEFUL ANG REACTION NIYO SA PAGKATALO NIYO.

    iiyak niyo na lang iyan.

    AS FOR ME, HANGGANG TENGA ANG NGITI KO DAHIL PANALO SI GERALD SANTOS!

    ang saya-saya ko dahil araw-araw nababasa ko ang mga magagandang messages ng mga supporters ni Gerald!

    iyong mga messages ng mga pangalang alam kong may galit sa mundo, HINDI KO NA LANG BABASAHIN,

    kasi NAAAWA AKO SA HIRAP NA DINADAAN NILA, AS IN STRUGGLE ITO NA HINDI SILA MAKA-MOVE ON AND DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO ACCEPT DEFEAT.

    buti pa si Aicel, tahimik na, IYONG SUPPORTERS, SANA GAYAHIN NIYO NA LANG SI AICEL.

    GOOD LUCK !

  • MonsterPie

    Confirmation lang. Hindi ako c Shanen or Shanon or whoever. Now lang ako nag post sa Gerald-related post and dito lang. Hindi ko pa siniraan c Gerald except maybe to say na lesser contestant cya, pero paninira ba un?

    I first posted regarding dun sa “pagtatanggol” ni Regine and you reacted strongly dun. And then when I pointed out ang mali mo, napahiya ka na at ayaw mo na akong sagutin. OK lang. I understand kc na hindi mo kaya. The reason why I keep posting is cos nakakatawa ka. Ang reactions mo sa mga “naninira” kay Gerald, ang pag-feeling mo na kaya mong sagutin lahat ng ibato sayo. Kahit hindi.

    I’ve made my points. Hindi naman ako rabid fanatic. I don’t made wild accusations and I don’t go around repeating my lines over and over. And I seriously doubt na natatawa ka sakin. Pero you don’t read this diba? I do know that you provide me with enormous fun. Thank you.

    Too bad you won’t know na pinasasalamatan kita.

    I HAVE SEEN THE COMMERCIAL OF EXTRA CHALLENGE, I HAVE NOT SEEN GERALD THOUGH,

    Ikaw ba ang isa sa mga creators ng new Forum ni Gerald.

  • Amphie

    Kuya Sam,

    I think Stemaja is taking ur place.

  • kuya_Sam

    kung ako si ABS CBN at gusto kong asarin si GMA.

    kukunin ko si AICELLE SANTOS at PASISIKATIN NG HUSTO. isasama ko siya sa Champions sa ASAP.

    para mapatunayan nilang sila pa rin ang number one sa pagpapasikat ng talents.

    hindi ako natatakot sa ganitong ideya,

    dahil ‘pag ginawa ng ABS iyon, lalong mag-iinit ang GMA para i-build up ng husto si Gerald Santos para talagang mag-shine siya as the next BIGGEST STAR!

    what do you think?

    ganda non!

    pero, GMA won’t give up Aicelle either, she’s a big plus to GMA Record’s roster of singers!

    as for my idol, im very confident that he’ll make it high in show business!

    bihira lang naman ang mga istoryang Hero Angeles eh. nga pala, san ka siya?

    pero I think exciting iyon pag kinuha ng ABS si Aicelle, especially that Aicele appeared first in Star In A Million prior joining Pinoy Pop Superstar. Yes, ka-batch niya sila Eric Santos.

  • Stemaja

    hello sa inyo^^^^^

  • kuya_Sam

    I have always believed in Gerald’s talent.
    When I first heard of the boy they said sings from the heart, I got curious.

    then I saw how he performs.
    Kind of reminded me how I was when I was still singing when I was a lot younger. People say I sing from the heart. I have always thought that its the emotion when you’re singing that has a greater impact on people.

    I have always wanted to perform, but ofcourse not everyone has that privilege.

    So I have seen this talented young kid, I told myself, if I was not able to be what I wanted in life, why not support someone else who for sure can achieve it.

    and so this is what i am donig right now. so kung tinatanong ko kung bakit ganun ang suporta ko, eto lang ang sagot ko sa inyo.

    and yes i know he is a kid. medyo nakaka – offend at nakakabastos iyong iniisip nung iba diyan.

    I wish all parents would be like gerald’s parents, they heard their young boy sing, so they helped out in developing it. If all parents are like them, then individuals would be the best that they can be as their talents and skills are seen and given importance and would reach their highest potentials.

    eto lang ang thinking ko, SANA WALANG BASTUSAN.

  • kuya_Sam

    hi stemaja!

    kumusta ka naman

  • Amphie

    Kuya Sam,

    I really admire u for believing on Gerald. Sobra ka nang na involved sa career ni Gerald.

    Sometimes some people don?t realize that fans are not waiting for any return basta maging successful lang ang idol nila. They sacrifice their time schedules, their work suffers in some ways dahil they get carried away sa mga commitments ng idol nila.

    And once na involve ka na there is no turning back. Fans even will fight to the end para ipagtanggol and idol nila.

    And fans cannot understand why they spend so much time thinking and finding ways how to help their idol to be more successful. That the time they could spend doing that could be better used in other ways to improve themselves or to make more money.

    In some ways exciting at mahirap din ang maging avid fans. But in the end, it is worth it.

  • Amphie

    At yes bastus nga ang iba diyan. Akala nila kesyo big fan ka may malisya kang iniisip sa idol mo. They dont realize u treat ur idol like ur own blood. You care for him like u care for ur own younger brother or sister. You want the best for him or her. Minsan nga mas matimbang pa ang pagtingin mo sa idol mo kaysa sa kapatid mo.

  • kuya_Sam

    thanks amphie.

    when gerald won, parang ako na rin ang nanalo.

    its something I have not achieved for myself, so i devoted my time in support of someone else, and when he achieved VICTORY, i felt victorious as well.

    mahirap bang intindihin iyon ang kinikuwentiyon pati iyon ng iba?

    ang masasabi ko lang, MASARAP TALAGANG MANALO! i was at Araneta that time, and we were really crying our hearts out when Regine called Gerald’s name as the Grand Champion.

    how I wish my nieces and nephews would also learn how to sing. actually 2 among them have the potential. kung sa akin nga lang nakatira iyon, pinakanta ko na ng pinakanta eh.

    I have always been a good motivator of my friends. people say I helped build up their character.

    kaya pag sinasabi kong MAS OK SUMUPORTA KAYSA SA MANIRA, MALALIM ANG PINANGGAGALINGAN NUN.

  • kitting

    @510

    thank you for understanding why i posted here!

    everything i had posted where just FACTS. except where i posted that i thought acielle should have won over gerald, but i’m allowed my own opinion. i posted here to make people aware that the show PPS i flawed, corrupt, UNPROFESSIONAL! nothing against any of the contender because most of them are very talented, but the people they had to deal with and what some had to put up, completely UNFAIR!

    i am not a sore loser because i had nothing to lose. i was not in the competition, i just want to make people aware of the truth about the show PPS. you die hard fans are getting SO angry at some of these posts. do you know gerald personally? is he your best friend? if not, do you think he cares or knows that you’re defending him? probably not… i’m not the one who needs to go to a grievance center, you guys are the ones who need to quit your obsession…

  • MonsterPie

    Stemaja: I never said unassailable ako. The problem is, hindi pa na di-disprove ang sinasabi ko. And FYI, hindi paninira ang pagsasabi na lesser contestant kc po opinyon un, if I said bad singer or pangit or nilait lait ko si Gerald, saka mo sabihin na sinisiraan ko. For now wala. So zip it.

    Why not amusement? Is that so bad? I bet a lot of people here are also present for amusement. Can you honestly say na ikaw hindi? Oh come on.

  • kuya_Sam

    extra challenge!

    nakakatuwa talaga to see Frenchie Dy at GMA.

    Jimmy Bondoc – siguro talagang wala siyang tulog kaya nag-back out siya. Pero sana hindi na lang siya umiyak.

    I’m glad Harry is also there! Lakas talaga dating ni Harry!

    si Jonalyn, parang wala sa kundisyon nung time na iyon. Nag-falsetto siya ng usually eh chinechest tone niya naman. Pero sana hindi, gusto ko siya humataw.

    go Gerald! kahit dere-derecho guestings, umaariba pa rin. Birit boy!

    alam ko kasi Sunday they were at Clark, sa Pampanga as he announced sa S-files. Tapos ang alam ko rin, ang taping ng extra challenge ay nagsisimula ng madaling-araw (kaya siguro nagkaganun si Jimmy Bondoc) grabe na talaga-iba talaga ang champ, dami guestings!

    my bet?

    BRENAN ESPARTINEZ. nakita ko na siya sa K-Challenge, parang magaling siya sa impromtu, at kung may sayawan while singing, malaki chansa niyang manalo!

    oh baka sabihin ng iba diyan gusto ko maka-love team si Brenan ha. pakiramdam ko ako ang na sa showbiz, pati ako may isyu!? muwahaha!

  • MonsterPie

    Kitting: Actually I was surprised sa reaction sa iyo dahil talaga namang may flaws ang show. Why they took it against Gerald is beyond me. As for thinking na smear campaign ito from Elise or Rose’s camp, how puerile! Kahit hindi ka man connected, pwede mong sabihin what you know and what you think and still be within the limits of reason. Ang problema, parang mas sore pa sila satin. Everytime you say something na hindi agreeable to them, you’re on the other side of the fence and should be treated as the enemy. Labo.

    THANKS JANE!

  • jane

    Honestly, Aicel’s performance last night sa EC is superb, very mature, even more mature than Jonalyn’s although di lang talaga unique ang voice nya, mas unique pa rin yung kay Jonalyn. Pero performance wise, ang galing. Kung naging ganon lang performance nya nong grandshowdown, naku, baka di nanalo si Gerald. Iba talaga ang naggawa ng contest. Bottomline is, talagang pag iginuhit ng TADHANA, KAHIT SINO WALANG MAGAGAWA!

  • kuya_Sam

    gusto ko pag kumakanta ng mataas na songs si Gerald. like the first song they sang at the opening, hindi masakit sa tenga.

    si harry talagang ang laki ng improvement.

    si Frenchie, gusto ko siya!

    si JOnalyn, i wonder why she didnt sing her song ng chest tone. finalsetto niya eh. siguro she’s tired or something. pag pagod kasi talaga at walang tulog ganun ang boses. now i understand kung bakit si Sarah G minsan hindi makahataw. sa dami ng projects niya, naapektuhan ang voice niya. pag may ubo kasi, nakakalala ng kundisyon ng throat iyon, kaya sabi niya bawal siya umubo.

    siguro mas hataw kung nandun si sheryn regis, talagang mapapalaban sila. sheryn regis and jonalyn showdown? ganda nun!

    Ano kaya ippgawa sa kanila sa EC, ano? Nakakatuwang tumutok, watch na lang tayo, at nandon naman si Gerald. Pano nya kaya ihhandle ang mga challenges eh sya yung pinakabata don. Yung mga fans ni Aicel, watch na rin kayo ng EC, magaling naman sya, at mukhang happy sya na ksama sya sa mga shows, pati na rin si Harry. Based na rin sa mga appearances ng top4 last year, actually parang top 3 ata, lagi rin naman silang nasa SOP, so you’ll get to see them often. Let’s be happy that each of them has his/her own path to stardom, di nga lang siguro sabay2, but still the door has been opened.

The best adjective to describe it I think is “misleading” rather than “entertaining.” As a former GMA Channel subscriber (now a very much disgusted one), my overall impression of your show is: it’s tailor-made just for you there in P.I.only. Keep it to yourselves there. Hindi pa ready ang GMA na mag-imbita ng participants outside of Pinas. Tulad ng nangyari kay Elise at Rosemarie. I didn’t think there was even a slim chance for either one of those two to win the contest. Kahit pa professional singers sila na ipinadala d’yan, kung and sistema ng GMA ay gano’n, wala ring mararating. Ang dayuhan, as you blatantly call them, ay walang kalalagyan.
    REASON #1 AND THE BIGGEST REASON OF ALL: TEXT VOTING. Whoever came up with the “bright” idea at GMA na mag-pa-pa-join kayo ng contestants from other countries, and then pagdating sa text-voting, hindi kasama ang country of origin ng mga contestants na ito?????????
    Eh sino ang lokong boboto rito sa mga ito sa Pilipinas na hindi naman sila nakikilala or hindi sila ang itinatangkilik or sinusuportahan? Kami namang nandito sa States na nagpapakalokong magsubscribe sa GMA channel at manood ng PPS, at paimbi-imbita pa ng mga neighbor na Kano or walang GMA channel pero may mga cell phone na p’wedeng mag-text, ay hindi naman pala kasama sa text-voting. Ano bang labanan ito????? DO YOU SEE FAIRNESS HERE AT ALL? I DON’T THINK SO!
    Ano kaya kung sinimple na lang ng GMA ‘yong pakulo – Luzon, Visayas at Mindanao (as it was) take note: Denver is from Davao or Mindanao) and then, pagdating ng text voting, i-de-declare na hindi authorized na mag-text-vote ang taga-Mindanao. Ano kaya ang magiging reaction ng Denver supporters? Eh di nag-rally siguro ang buong Mindanao! Ganyan ang nangyari kay Rosemarie at kay Elise, folks! It’s as simple as that! ‘Yong nag-tanghal na kampeon kay Elise at kay Rosemarie ay hindi s’ya nasuportahan all the way, samantalang kayo riyan sa Pinas ay one year n’yo nang pinakikinggan at ipinagsisigawan ang pangalan ng mga ma-ka-compete nila. Eh iyong dalawa, dumating d’yan MARCH ’06 na, tapos hindi n’yo pa ipa-pa-support ng text-vote ng places of origin nila!? No sense at all! This is why Elise’s and Rosemarie’s text vote percentages looked so pathetic all throughout the competition. Wasn’t this ever thought of beforehand by GMA management? I think it was very unfair of them, biased, inconsiderate, irresponsible and utterly disgusting. “Exploitation” even comes to mind at this point.

    Kung baliktarin kaya natin and situation, na magpapadala kayo rito ng mga contenders, dito gagawin ang contest, kahit sa inyo pa ang judges (huh! – another issue , I won’t touch on this for now), and then hindi kayo payagan na mag text-vote – siguro puputok ang mga butsi n’yo kung hindi n’yo maiboto si Harry heart throb n’yo? Iyon lang nabasa kong “illegal acquisition of tickets to get in or something” (I think it was written by Kitting), hindi pu-puwede yan dito. May kalalagyan kayo – lalo na sa ACLU.
    Oh well – amen I say for now. If I had my chance to share this with anyone here aspiring to join the PPS contest in the future, they’ll receive nothing but discouragement from me. I’ll tell them it will be a waste of time and effort and will just be a lot of frustration for them.
    Thanks for listening everyone.

    To Amphie:

    This pertains to your #393 mail. Do you have any more info on your so-called “complicated scoring system?” How could the public ever find out how the other 4 judges graded each of the contenders. Unlike at the Miss Universe pageant where each judge’s scores given is displayed so that the contestant knows how she was rated by each one of the judges. Wasn’t it that the scores that you mentioned in your mail were by only one judge’s? It is so weird and ridiculous to cite only one judge’s scores, it should have been “all or nothing at all, just declare the winner.” That’s why, we here can’t help but think everything was BOGUS, MANIPULATED AND JUST RIGGED. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME FOR CANADA AND USA TO JOIN AND EVEN FOR US GMA SUBSCRIBERS TO WATCH THE SHOW AND SUBSCRIBE TO GMA OVERALL. Such a turnoff!
    I can only say that Tan’s father was probably “punung-puno” na at that point nang i-announce na hindi man lang nga naman nakasama sa top 4 ‘yong anak n’ya. I must say her performance was a lot lot more splendid than most of the guy contenders who were comparable to our regular drunk karaoke singers here in the States.

    Would appreciate if you could research more into that scoring system of theirs. Thanks.

  • the truth

    Thank you disgusted! I also live in the States and I could not agree with you more! I believe you may have summed up everyone’s feelings/frustrations that live in Canada and the US. I too will discourage any Fil-Am interested to join in this so-called “competition.”

    I bought an album of pps2 rosemarie really sounds great, sayang di sya pumasok, pero kung ipapasok sya, I’m sure mawawala si denver,for me ayaw kong mawala si denver sa top 4. to disgusted #555 maybe you should ear your comment to GMA network. so that the”ll know what others thought on PPs2. Mahal kasi ng mga fans si gerald, 60% starquality is nakuha nya yon and kahit 50% of 40% ng musicality lang ang makuha nya panalo pa rin sya. rosemarie and the other one is wala non. hindi kasi sila kilala masyado ng mga tao. sayang… if ever na ako ay naginmg isang fil am singer.

  • RNyani

    may point din naman kayo disgusted and the truth. while watching the grand showdown sinabi ko rin sa sister ko how unfair it is for rosemarie and elise when it comes to text votes. posting your comments here may remove your angst pero wala yang magagawa sa competition. sabihin mo yan sa GMA para mas ok for the contenders from abroad sa susunod na pps.
    but as for pps2…you can’t change what’s over. move on!

    i also like denver. sa totoo lang my favorite in their album ay ang kang gerald at kay denver. ito ang palagi kong pinakikinggan. i like the choice of songs ni denver.

  • disgusted

    Hi angelruth #557: So you think Rosemarie sounded great on the PPS album? You’re the 1st one who declared such a thing – I read nothing here but awful description of her performance on the CD. Interestingly though, as if I found what could be the possible explanation to this is… (let me share this with you), are you ready? I read this on the “Philstar” oneday. Apparently, the poor kid, when she flew down to P.I. after 16 hrs of flight last March from Los Angeles, as soon as her feet touched down on the Philippine soil, she was led to the GMA studios to do a song recording of “Neither One of Us.” The Philstar reported that she was suffering from a headache being tired, and a sorethroat due to the sudden change in temperature (winter in USA vs. oven-like temperature in P.I.). Don’t you think the considerate thing for GMA to do then was to send her home first to freshen up and get some sleep to prepare herself for the recording session, logically thinking that her performance on the CD would be a criteria for the selection process? Nope! Another GMA GREAT STRATEGY HUH! which only GMA AND GMA ALONE KNEW — THAT IT’D WOULD BE PART OF THE SCORING IN THE COMPETITION). I don’t think Miss Tan knew this or she could have demanded or insisted on taking a rest first knowing that her cause was at stake. This was while the other contenders were at home taking their beauty rest preparing for their CD recording. Another great move on GMA’s part, huh?I don’t know, anywhere I look at it, GMA isn’t ready for running such kind of competition. Very poor planning and management on a lot of things to the disadvantage of others. Can someone please tell me. What was really GMA’s motive for bringing in contestants from Canada and USA? Financial? Must be! Then the judges they used were not impressive at all as if there was a shortage of respectable and professional people that they can use. Imagine having judges there expressing their homosexual feelings on the air toward a young contestant. Yuk! Nothing could be more unprofessional than that! Again, keep the show to yourselves, GMA AND PINAS. RIGGED, RIGGED, RIGGED FROM START TO FINISH. AY YAY YAY!

    Good morning sa lahat! Para iwas gulo at sakit, iwasan natin ang pagmamarunong at pagging hambog. Kahit na tayo pa ang maging pinakmarunong sa ating pagkakaalam, meron pa ring nakahihigit sa atin. Yun ang di natin alam!!!!
    Honestly, yung nanalo nong Saturday, di ko natandaan ang pangalan a! para sa akin lang, mas magaling pa yun kina Rosemarie and Elise!!!! kahit 15 yrs old lang, at mas may star quality! Ewan ko lang sa iba, pero para sa akin, mas magaling at star sya!!! Kahit 1wk pa lang sya.

  • disgusted

    Hoy Jane, bading ka rin ba tulad ni kuya sam? Kayo ang mga tipo ng tagahanga ni Gerald kasi eh. The glorified “bakya crowd!” Gustung-gusto kayo ng GMA, mahahalikan kayo sa paa. Pag butihin n’yo pa, baka premyuhan din kayo ng bahay at lupa.

  • http://angelemmaruthmultiply.com angelruth

    hahahaha!!! nakakatawa talaga minsan basahin yong mga post d2, di ko maintindihan kung maiinis ako o matutuwa.o nababakyaan o…. ewan pasensya na po. tao lang.. napanood ko po si gerald, harry at denver na kumanta tatlo po sila. and nakakatuwang makita silang tatlo.
    and makita rin si aicel, hay salamat at nakita ko silang apat.

  • http://angelemmaruthmultiply.com angelruth

    to disgusted, sus, wag ka ng magalit.,kung ako lang sana ay may magawa at makarating sana lahat ng comments sa kanila sana ginawa ko. na, pero wala din naman akong against sa mga nanalo na. they deserv it naman. at sa totoo lang deserving silang lahat kahit sina rosmarie. sayang sana nag stay pa sila d2. ang pananaw ko lang dyan. kahit na di ka nanalo if you are distened to be a star. sisikat ka no matter what. maybe talagang hindi d2 si rosemarie, and I wish mag karoon sya ng carrer sa states to show and to prove herself to all, and panghinayangan sya.

    Hi kuya sam, mharyelle, chell, nhald,
    Hayaan nyo na yung disgusted, para forever syang disgusted, bagay na bagay ang name nya, ha!ha!ha!. Di ttalab ang mga pasaring nya, kasi tayong magganda, walang problema sa buhay, ang mga ganyan, buong buhay nila problematic, ha!ha!ha! Sa kanila babalik lahat ng pangit na ipukol nila sa iba. Panapanahon lang yan! Malay mo, bukas or mayamaya lang, malalasap na nila kung ano ang ginawa nila sa kapwa nila. I am not wishing that though, but IT IS POSSIBLE.
    So kayo, be happy and keep smiling. Wag magpaapekto, sino ba naman ang mga yan, nameless naman kaya di makapgpakilala at kahit na magpakilala ang mga yan, NOBODY IS INTERESTED BECAUSE THEY’R NOBODIES and for all that they are doing they will not attain anything in this world, they are doomed! and will forever be NAMELESS and NOBODIES.

  • kuya_Sam
